Servings 14
Ingredients
- 12 Medjool dates
- ½ cup almond butter
- 4 ounces dark chocolate chips or bar
- ¼ cup chopped peanuts optional
- flaky or coarse salt optional
Instructions
- Pit the dates: Run a shape knife down the side of your date lengthwise to form an opening, remove the pit, and then continue to cut the date in half. Place both halves of the date on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper cut-side up. Repeat for all your dates.
- Fill each date half with about half to one teaspoon of almond butter.
- Add the chocolate topping: Add a line of chocolate chips on top of the almond butter. Or melt the chocolate slowly in a glass bowl by microwaving it 10 seconds at a time until completely smooth. Then put the melted chocolate in a zip lock baggie, cut off one corner, and pipe the chocolate over the date and almond butter.
- Optional: sprinkle the chocolate-covered dates with chopped peanuts and salt for a little bit of extra flare.Freeze the dates(at least 2 hours) and enjoy! Store frozen.
