Medjool dates stuffed with a peanut butter and protein powder paste, dipped in dark chocolate and finished with flaky salt. Chewy, salty, sweet, and a lot more filling than the candy bar they stand in for.

Fill each date with a teaspoon of the paste and press it closed around the filling.
4

Try it this way

Swap the peanut butter for almond butter, or press a whole roasted almond into the filling before dipping for crunch.
