CHEWY DATE SNICKERS “ICE CREAM” (FROYO) SANDWICHES!

1. Make the filling: Add the whipped topping, yogurt, peanut butter and maple syrup to a bowl and whisk until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
2. Open the dates and line them up on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Cover them with more parchment paper and use a rolling pin or a heavy pan to flatten them to create a large rectangle 8x4. If there are holes, simply cover them with small pieces of date and re-roll. Next, cut the rectangle into two equal squares about 4x4.
3. Place one date rectangle onto a parchment-lined sheet pan or baking pan, then spread the filling over the dates. Top with the second date square and gently press down. Place it in the freezer for at least 5-6 hours, or overnight.
4. Slice the large square into 8 smaller squares, then put them back into the freezer until ready to dip.
5. Melt the chocolate and coconut oil together in the microwave on 30-second intervals until melted, stirring after each interval.
6. Dip each sandwich into the chocolate to cover half of it, then place them onto a second lined sheet pan. Sprinkle the tops with the peanuts and place back in the freezer for 10 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
