Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, heating them in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until the chocolate is smooth. Shorter microwave intervals are best for melting chocolate so you don't burn it.
Slice each date in half the long way as if you were slicing a hot dog bun.
One at a time, fill each date with about 1/2-1 tsp of peanut butter, depending on the size of the date, then place the stuffed date in the melted chocolate. Use a fork to help you turn and coat the whole date. Remove the date from the chocolate and set on a piece of parchment paper.
If desired, you can sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of each date snicker for a nice touch.
Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes to harden

Notes
Store in an airtight container. I prefer to refrigerate these for the best taste and texture, but you don't have to. These date snickers are good for up to 5 days.
