Coconut stuffed dates dipped in chocolate for a healthier, homemade take on Bounty bars—perfect for a quick, sweet snack!
Snickers dates and peanut butter stuffed dates have taken over the internet lately—and for good reason, they’re delicious! But have you tried coconut stuffed dates? I like to call them Bounty dates. If you’re from the UK, you’ll know exactly what I mean—Bounty bars were that classic coconut-filled chocolate treat we didn’t all love as kids, but somehow grew to appreciate as we got older. Maybe it’s a sign of maturing?
As always, I’m all about creating healthier versions of our favourite treats, and these coconut-stuffed dates are the perfect example. They’re sweet, chocolatey, and satisfying—just like a Bounty bar, but made with wholesome ingredients.
Honestly, I think these taste even better than Snickers dates, and they’re just as quick and easy to make. You can prep a batch in advance and have a healthy sweet treat ready to enjoy all week.

How To Make Bounty Dates
- Remove the pits from the dates and set them aside.

- Stuff each date with the coconut filling using a spoon, then dip them into the melted chocolate to coat.
