Description

Make these naturally sweet stuffed dates with peanut butter, covered in chocolate to satisfy your candy cravings in a quick and healthy way. These delicious little gems will have any chocolate lover coming back for more.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips preferably 70% cocoa or higher
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • 3/4 cup natural peanut butter, crunchy or smooth
  • 12 Medjool dates, pitted
  • 1/2 tsp flaky salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Line a large plate or small baking sheet with parchment paper
  2. After you remove the pit from the date, inspect the inside of the date to make sure that there are no worms or black inside (dark brown is OK).  This happens doesn't happen often, but it's worth the extra few seconds to inspect the dates.
  3. Fill each date with 1 tsp of peanut butter.
  4. Once all the dates are filled with peanut butter, grab a small-medium bowl place the chocolate chips and coconut oil, and melt it using a double boiler or a microwave in 20-second increments mixing after each 20 seconds.
  5. Using a large fork fully dip the dates in the melted chocolate, raise the fork out of the chocolate and let the chocolate drip down into the bowl.  Be patient, the chocolate needs a few seconds to drip all the way. Transfer the chocolate-dipped dates to the lined plate/baking sheet and place in the freezer.
  6. Once the dates are frozen, place them in an air-tight container back into the freezer.

Notes

  1. Take the time to inspect the inside of the dates to ensure there are no worms or a black area.
  2. Make sure all the melted chocolate drips from the date, you want a thin coating of chocolate.
  3. Remove the dates from the freezer 5 minutes before serving or enjoy them right out of the freezer. 
  4. Stuffed dates will last 3 months in the freezer, but in our house, they are gone in less than a week.
  5. It's a great make-ahead dessert.
