PEPPERMINT BROWNIE DATE BARK 🍫 
If you’ve been around for a while, you know I LOVE date bark!!! My go-to treat to prep & store in my freezer or set out if I’m hosting. So of course, we had to do a festive version - fudgey, crunchy, minty & sweet… I promise you can’t just have one square 😉 save + send to a friend who needs to try this!! 

12 dates, halved & pressed into a flat layer 

Protein Brownie layer:
3/4 c oat flour 
1 serving chocolate protein powder (sproutliving or equipfoods are my fave, code TAYSTE20)
2 tbsp coco powder 
1/4 c almond butter 
1/4 c Greek yogurt or blended cottage cheese
2 tbsp maple syrup (optional if your protein isn’t super sweet)
1/4 c unsweetened almond milk 
1/4 tsp peppermint extract 

Chocolate layer:
1 cup chocolate chips (I love the traderjoes dark)
2 tsp coconut oil 
Crushed candy canes + sea salt 

In a medium bowl, add all brownie layer ingredients except milk & begin to mix. Slowly pour in milk, mixing until you get a thick fudgy dough - set aside.
Line a baking sheet with wax or parchment paper. Flatten dates into an even layer, splitting any to fill gaps. Spread brownie layer on top of dates. Drizzle with melted chocolate. Sprinkle crushed peppermints & place in the freezer for 1 hour to set. 
Using a sharp knife, cut bark into small pieces & serve on a plate or package into gift baggies. Store leftovers in the fridge/freezer in an airtight container. Enjoy!
