The aroma of this decadent pecan date cardamom bark is reason enough to make this easy fall inspired dessert. An alternative holiday (or any day, let’s be real) indulgence this is my new favorite sweet treat. And with no added sugar it’s sure to become a fan favorite too! Layers of tender dates, nut butter, toasted pecans, and dark chocolate spiced with cardamom makes this nature’s (basically) healthy Snickers bar. You’ll be the talk of Thanksgiving with a container full of these.
I’m using peanut butter here but you can experiment with this cinnamon maple sunflower seed butter or any other spread of your choosing. Toasting your pecans brings out the subtle sweet flavor of the nuts and paired with a hit of cardamom, every bite is packed with flavor without all the extra corn syrup from traditional pecan pies. Highly recommend enjoying with a sip of this fall apple chai cider for full effect.
This decadent pecan date cardamom bark has no added sugar and is a wonderful, healthy addition to your holiday (or any day) table.

Freezer tip - I use two same size sheet trays to encase my bark (think bottom sheet pan to carry and top sheet pan as a lid) to avoid any funky freezer smells getting in.
