I made the viral date bark that is going around right now, except put a little twist on it by making it higher protein! These kind of remind me of my No Bake “Protein “Unstuffed” Date Squares. These are such a quick and easy sweet treat that taste like a candy bar! You only need 5 simple ingredients and you can even make these treats in bulk and store them in your freezer! There is no added sugar and you can customize the toppings in SO many ways.
