Ingredients
- 12 Medjool dates, pitted
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup roasted peanuts, chopped
- 100g dark or milk chocolate, melted
Instructions
- Prepare the Dates: Make a small incision lengthwise along each pitted date to create a pocket for the filling without splitting them completely.
- Stuff with Peanut Butter: Spoon approximately one teaspoon of creamy peanut butter into each date pocket, spreading evenly inside.
- Add Peanuts: Sprinkle chopped roasted peanuts over the peanut butter inside each date, adding a delightful crunch to the filling.
- Coat with Chocolate: Using a fork, dip each stuffed date into the melted chocolate to coat completely. Allow excess chocolate to drip off before placing on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Set and Serve: Refrigerate the chocolate-coated dates for at least 30 minutes or until the chocolate hardens. Once set, serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- Use Medjool dates for the best texture and sweetness as they are large and soft.
- For a nut-free alternative, substitute peanut butter and peanuts with sunflower seed butter and seeds.
- Choose dark chocolate for a richer taste and lower sugar content.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
