Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 20 Medjool dates, pitted
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 100 grams dark or milk chocolate, chopped
  • 1/4 cup roasted peanuts, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare Dates: Carefully make a slit on each pitted date without cutting all the way through to create a pocket for filling.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Garnish: Immediately sprinkle the chopped roasted peanuts on top of the chocolate-coated dates for added crunch and flavor.
  5. 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.
