✨ Ingredients for about 8 pieces of Date Bark

🧑‍🍳 So geht’s – Step by Step

1. Prepare the dates
Pit the dates and halve them lengthwise. Place them cut-side down on baking paper and press them flat with a glass until they form an even base.

2. Matcha Cashew Cream
Blend the cashew butter with the HEALTHBAR Matcha, vanilla, and salt until a smooth, greenish cream forms. Spread evenly over the date base.

3. Melt the chocolate
Melt the chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave. Pour over the dates and cream and spread evenly with a spoon.

4. Toppings & cooling
Top with pistachios, cashew pieces, hemp seeds, and a pinch of salt. Refrigerate for 2–3 hours or freeze for 30 minutes until firm.

5. Serve
Cut into bars or squares and enjoy straight away – the bark is especially delicious cold from the fridge!

💡 Tips & Tricks

  • For an even more intense color: sift half a teaspoon of matcha over the chocolate.
  • The bark is easy to prepare and freeze.
  • Instead of cashew butter, you can also use almond or pistachio butter.
Which dates are best?

Soft, large Medjool dates are perfect because they flatten easily and are nice and sweet. In a pinch, you can also use Deglet Nour – perhaps soaking them in warm water first.
Can I do this if I have a nut allergy?

Yes! Replace cashew butter with sunflower seed butter or coconut cream – this way the consistency remains similar and it's completely nut-free.
Can I also make the bark in small silicone molds?

Absolutely perfect as individual chocolates. Simply press the date mixture into the chocolate, add the cream, top with chocolate, and pop it in the fridge.
How long does the bark last?

Stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, it will keep for about 5 days. Frozen for several weeks – it's best to let it thaw for 5 minutes before serving.
What is the difference to conventional bark?

Instead of sugar and crackers as a base, this version features soft dates, creamy nut butter, and HEALTHBAR matcha. It's more natural, colorful, and flavorful.
