There is no hard and fast rule for how many date snickers to make. Feel free to make a few or many. You can always melt more chocolate if needed. Don't overthink it, this is for fun.
*Store in covered container in freezer for maximum shelf life. When you want a sweet treat, pull a couple out of the freezer and let sit for 20-30 minutes to soften.
