makes 1 tray | active time: 15 minutes | full time: 1 hour (for setting)
craving a snack that checks all the boxes—sweet, salty, creamy, and crunchy? this sweet and salty date bark delivers all that and more in every irresistible bite. it’s the perfect blend of indulgent flavors and textures, but the best part is how simple it is to make. picture soft, caramel-like dates layered with tangy goat cheese, drizzled generously with Pistakio's OG Creamy pistachio spread, and finished off with melted chocolate and toasted pistachios. it’s the kind of treat that feels gourmet yet comes together in no time.
