Calories: 98kcal
Ingredients
- 25 medjool dates (other other dried dates)
- 12 ½ teaspoons peanut butter
- ½ (3.5 ounce / 340 gram) bar dark chocolate
- Maldon sea salt flakes (or other coarse, flaky salt)
Equipment
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Cut dates from end to end (but not all the way through). Remove pits, then place dates on baking sheet.
- Fill each date with ½ teaspoon peanut butter (or more, if desired).
- Chop chocolate into small pieces, then place in a small bowl. Microwave for 20 seconds, then stir. Continue microwaving in 10 second increments (stirring well in between), until chocolate is completely melted.
- Use a spoon to drizzle melted chocolate over dates. (You may have a little left over.)
- Top each date with a pinch of sea salt.
- Transfer baking sheet to your freezer. When frozen, place dates in an airtight container.
- Thaw dates for about 10 to 15 minutes before eating. Enjoy!
Notes
Dates - Medjool dates are my personal favorite for this recipe, but other types will also work. I used a 12 ounce (340 gram package), which contained 25 dates. However, the number of dates in any package will very, depending on the variety and size. You can easily size the recipe up or down, if needed.
Nut Butter - Other nut and seed butters may also be used. I frequently make these with almond butter or coconut peanut butter. For nut free stuffed dates, use sunflower seed butter, pumpkin seed butter, or tahini.
Chocolate - Because the dates are so sweet, I like to use dark chocolate (which is less sweet than milk chocolate). However, any type will work. For vegan / dairy free, make sure to use vegan chocolate.
Salt - Sprinkle on different types of salt, like Himalayan pink salt, smoked sea salt, or spicy salt flakes.
