Ingredients
12 Medjool dates
6 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
3 tablespoons roasted peanuts
1 cup dark chocolate chips or chopped bar
1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional)
1 teaspoon flaky sea salt
Instructions
1. Slice each Medjool date lengthwise on one side and remove the pit, keeping the date intact like a pocket.
2. Fill each date with about 1/2 tablespoon of creamy peanut butter using a small spoon or spatula.
3. Press 2–3 roasted peanuts into the peanut butter filling in each date.
4. Place all stuffed dates on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 15–20 minutes to firm up.
5. In a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, melt the dark chocolate with coconut oil until smooth.
6. Dip each chilled date into the melted chocolate using a fork, then let excess drip off.
7. Place dipped dates back onto the parchment-lined tray.
8. Immediately sprinkle each with a pinch of flaky sea salt before the chocolate hardens.
9. Chill again in the fridge or freezer until fully set.
10. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Use room-temperature peanut butter for easier spreading.
Don’t skip the chill time—it keeps everything intact for clean dipping.
For a glossy finish, use a teaspoon of coconut oil when melting the chocolate.
