As a contraction, dare not is daren't. However, this word is rather archaic and is really never used in American English.

The word daren't was used c1865, 1998 by Leo N. Tolstoy in War and Peace, page 161 -

"The bigwigs here think so too, but they daren't say so."
You would be hard pressed to find many examples of daren't in literature or common use.
