Equipment

  • Knife
  • Spoon
  • Freezer
  • Microwave or Stovetop

Ingredients

  • 8 medjool dates
  • 2 1/2 Tbsp peanut butter (or nut butter of choice)
  • 2 oz dark chocolate (or about 1/4 cup chocolate chips)
  • oprtional toppings: course sea salt, cacao nibs, coconut flakes, chopped nuts, etc.

Instructions

  • Cut each date in half to end up with 16 pieces. Remove and discard the pits of the dates.
  • Spoon roughly 1/2 tsp into the little well of each half piece of date. Once all the pieces are stuffed with peanut butter, place them into the freezer for about 10 minutes, or until the peanut butter slightly hardens.
  • Meanwhile, melt the dark chocolate. I used the microwave to do this, but feel free to melt on the stove with a double boiler.
  • Remove the dates from the freezer. Dip the surface of the date that's stuffed with peanut butter into the melted chocolate. Before the chocolate hardens, top with optional toppings. Repeat with the remaining dates. Store in an airtight container in the fridge. Enjoy!
