Ingredients
- 20 Medjool dates, pitted
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 100 grams dark or milk chocolate, chopped
- 1/4 cup roasted peanuts, chopped
- Prepare Dates: Carefully make a slit on each pitted date without cutting all the way through to create a pocket for filling.
- Fill Dates: Spoon about 1 teaspoon of creamy peanut butter into each date’s pocket, making sure they are well filled but can still be closed.
- Dip in Chocolate: Melt the chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler until smooth. Dip each peanut butter-stuffed date in the melted chocolate, coating it completely.
- Garnish: Immediately sprinkle the chopped roasted peanuts on top of the chocolate-coated dates for added crunch and flavor.
- Chill: Place the coated dates on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or until the chocolate is set and firm.
Notes
- You can substitute peanut butter with almond butter or other nut butters for variation.
- For a vegan option, use dairy-free chocolate and ensure peanut butter is natural and unsweetened.
- Keep these snacks refrigerated until serving to maintain the chocolate coating’s firmness.
- Use high-quality dates like Medjool for the best texture and natural sweetness.
