Scale
Ingredients
- 12 Medjool dates, pitted
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 200g dark or milk chocolate, chopped
- 1/4 cup roasted peanuts, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Dates: Carefully slice each date lengthwise on one side to create an opening, removing the pits if not already pitted, to make space for the filling.
- Stuff with Peanut Butter: Using a small spoon or knife, fill each date cavity generously with creamy peanut butter, ensuring each date is well filled but not overflowing.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the chopped chocolate until smooth, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
- Dip Dates in Chocolate: Using a fork or skewer, dip each stuffed date into the melted chocolate, coating it fully or halfway according to your preference. Allow excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
- Sprinkle Peanuts: Immediately sprinkle chopped roasted peanuts over the chocolate coating while it is still wet to ensure they stick well.
- Chill to Set: Place the coated dates on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or until the chocolate is set and firm.
Notes
- Use Medjool dates for their large size and softness, which work best for stuffing.
- For a healthier option, use dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa content and natural peanut butter without added sugars.
- Can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Feel free to substitute peanuts with other nuts like almonds or walnuts according to preference.
