Equipment
- Microwave
Ingredients
- 15 medjool dates fresh; pits removed
- ¼ cup peanut butter natural, smooth or crunchy; approx. 68g
- 2 tbsp peanuts finely chopped; approx. 18g
- 8.8 oz dark chocolate approx. 250g; use vegan-friendly chocolate if needed
- 2 tsp coconut oil refined or unrefined; approx. 9g
- 1 pinch sea salt flakes optional; flaky style; approx. 1/16 tsp
Instructions
- Slice each date lengthwise on one side to open them up, being careful not to cut all the way through. Remove the pits and stuff each date with about 1 teaspoon of peanut butter.
- Line a plate or tray with parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl (or using a double boiler), melt the dark chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Stir in the coconut oil until fully combined.
- Insert a toothpick crosswise through each date to make dipping easier. Dip each stuffed date into the melted chocolate to coat fully, then place onto the lined tray.
- While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle with chopped peanuts and a pinch of flaky sea salt (if using).
- Chill in the freezer for 10–15 minutes, or until the chocolate is set. Remove the toothpicks and transfer the dates to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
