Ingredients
- 15 Medjool dates soft, pitted
- 64 grams peanut butter smooth or crunchy, ¼ cup
- 100 grams dark chocolate or milk chocolate, if preferred
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 pinch flaky sea salt optional
- Optional toppings: Chopped nuts or shredded coconut
Instructions
- Prepare the Dates: Slice each date open lengthwise and remove the pit. Place the pitted dates on a parchment-lined cookie sheet.
- Fill with Peanut Butter: Spoon peanut butter into each date.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a heatproof glass bowl, melt the chocolate and coconut oil over simmering water, stirring until smooth.
- Coat the Dates: Pour the melted chocolate over the stuffed dates, making sure each one is fully coated.
- Flash Freeze: Put the tray in the freezer for about 20 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
- Store & Serve: Move the dates to an airtight container and keep them in the freezer. You can eat them frozen (they get quite firm!) or let them sit out for a few minutes before enjoying.
Notes
- Don’t skip the freezing step—it helps set the chocolate so it doesn't get messy.
- If you like your treats a bit sweeter, feel free to add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup to the peanut butter before stuffing the dates.
- Add a pinch of sea salt on top for that sweet-salty balance, but it’s totally optional.
- You can make these in advance, they store really well in the freezer, so you’ll always have a quick treat on hand.
