Description
These delicious chocolate covered stuffed medjool dates make for a sweet and healthy treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 medjool dates
- 6 tablespoons peanut butter
- ½ cup vegan chocolate chips
Instructions
- Shape the dates: Slice the top of each medjool date, being careful not to cut all the way through, and remove the pit. Gently pull apart the two sides to form a heart shape.
- Add the filling: Fill the center of each date with peanut butter (or nut butter of choice, or leave them plain). I usually add the peanut butter to a ziplock bag, snip off a small corner, and pipe it into the center of each date for ease. Freeze for 30 minutes, until the filling is firm.
- Coat in chocolate: Melt the vegan chocolate chips in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. If needed, stir in one teaspoon of melted coconut oil to thin the chocolate for easier dipping. Dip each date into the melted chocolate, coating completely.
- Decorate: If desired, sprinkle with freeze-dried strawberries, chopped nuts, and flaky sea salt. Chill in the fridge until the chocolate sets. Enjoy!
Notes
- This recipe is easy to customize with different nut butters or toppings.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of chocolate based on your preference.
