Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 12 Medjool dates pitted
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter no sugar added is best
  • 1/4 cup roasted peanuts
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt for sprinkling

Equipment

  • 1 Baking Sheet
  • 1 Parchment Paper
  • 1 Microwave-safe bowl

Method
 

  1. Slice each Medjool date lengthwise to remove the pit, creating a pocket but not cutting all the way through.
  2. Fill each date with about 1/2 teaspoon of peanut butter, then press a few roasted peanuts into the filling.
  3. Place the stuffed dates on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 15-20 minutes to firm up.
  4. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  5. Dip each chilled date into the melted chocolate, coating completely. Let excess chocolate drip off.
  6. Place the coated dates back on the baking sheet and immediately sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set. Enjoy!

Notes

Tip 1: If your Medjool dates are dry, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes and pat them completely dry before use.
Tip 2: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
