Any peanut butter chocolate date aternatives?

I've been heavily reducing my refined sugar intake, as well as limiting UPFs. All health-motivated reasons.

I used to eat a lot of crap in the evening - Haribo, sweet and salted popcorn, lots of processed sugar.

I've switched to stuffing medjool dates with a smear of peanut butter and then drizzling with 90% dark chocolate, eaten straight from the freezer. I find one or two a night satiates my need for something sugary without resorting to what I was eating before.

However, am wondering if there are any other similar 'treats' I can make to provide some variety. Something natural, low refined sugar, will still make me feel like I've had something sweet in the evening.

Any recommendations?

Apple slices with peanut butter and some chocolate chips goes a long way!

Also Lindt dark chocolate is the best, least amount of sugar.

Cut up rounds of banana, put peanut butter on top and keep in the freezer. Delicious.

We are cutting back on UPFs, and all enjoy full fat Greek yoghurt with a drizzle of maple syrup (expensive, but a little goes a long way, so a bottle lasts us ages). DDs (and 6 and 3) prefer this to sugary kids yoghurts, so that's a win!

Sadly I can't eat Lindt due to it being a 'may contain' for gluten. M&S do a range of dark chocolate offerings though, all the way up to 100% (which is genuinely grim haha).

I do have apple slices and peanut butter, I like them with a twist of sea salt! I like the chewy, caramelly texture and flavour of the peanut butter/dark chocolate dates more though.
