Chocolate and Peanut Dates

  • 6 dates, pitted
  • ¼ cup peanut butter
  • ¼ cup dark chocolate
  • 2 tbsp. crushed peanuts

 

White Chocolate and Pistachios Dates

  • 6 dates, pitted
  • ¼ cup pistachio butter
  • ¼ cup white chocolate
  • 2 tbsp. crushed pistachios
  1. Cut dates length wise, making sure not to cut all the way through (remove pits if not pitted already).
  2. Add approx. 1/2 tsp of nut butter into centre of each date and slightly close. 
  3. Melt chosen flavoured chocolate chips in 30-second increments in the microwave or over a double boiler; then let it cool slightly. *Separate batches for each chocolate flavour
  4. Dip stuffed dates into melted chocolate – either whole date, half or drizzle (up to you!) – and place on parchment-lined baking sheet for ease.
  5. Finishing touch – sprinkle the crushed peanuts, chopped pistachios, sea salt, or another topping of choice on the chocolate.
  6. Allow them to set at room temp. or in the fridge for 15-30 mins – and enjoy!

TIP: Avoid freezer if possible to cool. The chocolate will begin to sweat once it hits room temp if you do!
