Calories 172kcal
Ingredients
- 12 Medjool dates
- 1/3 cup all-natural smooth peanut butter
- 1/4 cup peanuts chopped
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- pinch flaky sea salt (optional for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut a slit into the centre of each date, lengthwise, and remove the pit. (Be sure not to cut all the way through as we want to stuff them!)
- Stuff the inside of each date generously with peanut butter and sprinkle with the peanuts. Place on the baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Melt in the microwave in 30 second increments until smooth and combined, mix with a spoon to do so. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the dates to coat. Optional to sprinkle with sea salt.
- Refrigerate the stuffed dates until the chocolate has fully hardened, about 30 minutes.
