Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 12 Medjool dates, pitted
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter (or your favorite nut butter)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped roasted peanuts (optional, for added crunch)
  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (or milk chocolate chips, as preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting of chocolate)

Equipment

  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Double Boiler (optional)
  • Fork
  • Parchment-lined baking sheet or tray

Method
 

  1. Carefully slice each pitted Medjool date lengthwise, creating a pocket without cutting all the way through. You want to open them up like a book so you have a cavity to fill.

  2. Spoon approximately 1-2 teaspoons of creamy peanut butter into the pocket of each date. Don't be shy; a good amount of filling is key to a satisfying bite.

  3. If you’re using chopped roasted peanuts, gently press a small amount into the peanut butter filling of each date. This adds a wonderful textural contrast.

  4. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and the coconut oil (if using). Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate in a double boiler over simmering water.

  5. Hold each stuffed date by its ends and dip it into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. You can use a fork to help dip and turn the dates, allowing excess chocolate to drip off. Place the chocolate-coated dates on a parchment-lined baking sheet or tray.

  6. Once all the dates are coated, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened completely.
