Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 10 pieces Medjool dates, pitted Use high-quality dates for the best flavor.
  • 1/2 cup Peanut butter or nut butter of choice Can substitute with other nut butters like almond or sunflower seed butter.
  • 1 cup Dark chocolate (sugar-free or regular) Melt carefully, stirring frequently.
  • 1/4 cup Chopped peanuts Optional, for added crunch.
  • a pinch Sea salt Optional, enhances flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by taking your Medjool dates and carefully cutting a slit down the side of each date to remove the pit.
  2. Fill each date with about a teaspoon of peanut butter or your preferred nut butter. Optionally, mix in chopped peanuts.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until completely melted and smooth.
Assembly
  1. Using a fork, dip each stuffed date into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
  2. Sprinkle chopped peanuts or sea salt on top of the chocolate if desired.
  3. Place the chocolate-covered dates on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened.
