Ingredients
- 10 dates (we recommend using Medjool dates)
- 3 tablespoon natural crunchy peanut butter
- ¾ cup chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- Crushed peanuts and sea salt for topping, optional
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Slice each date in half on one side, creating a pocket. Use a butter knife to carefully place about 1 teaspoon of peanut butter in the center of the date. Press the date closed.
- In a microwave safe bowl, add the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Melt in the microwave for 30 second increments until the chocolate is smooth and melted. Watch closely to avoid burning the chocolate.
- Insert a toothpick into the date and carefully dip the date in chocolate. Let any extra chocolate drip off. Place the date onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat this process for all 10 dates.
- Top the dates with crushed peanuts and sea salt if desired. Place the baking sheet in the fridge until the dates are hardened. Store in an air-tight container in the fridge or freezer.
Notes
- Store the dates in an air-tight container in the fridge or freezer. We prefer to freeze them and let them come to room temperature before eating.
- These dates are naturally gluten-free and can be easily made dairy-free! Ensure that the chocolate you use is dairy-free. We recommend Enjoy Life. As always, ensure each individual ingredient meets your dietary needs. These dates are also vegetarian and vegan if you use dairy-free chocolate.
