Ingredients
  

  • 12 Medjool dates
  • ¼ cup peanut butter divided
  • ¼ cup chopped roasted peanuts divided
  • 4 ounces dark chocolate bar cut into chunks

Instructions
 

  • 1. Use a small sharp knife to cut a slit in each date lengthwise. Remove the pits.
  • 2. Fill each date with 1 teaspoon peanut butter and add 1 teaspoon of crushed peanuts on top. Set aside.
  • 3. Place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
  • 4. Insert a toothpick into each stuffed date and dip it into the melted chocolate. Coat fully and let excess drip off.
  • 5. Transfer chocolate-covered dates to a parchment-lined tray and sprinkle with remaining peanuts.
  • 6. Chill in the fridge for about 10 minutes until the chocolate sets.

Notes

Storage: Store the stuffed dates in the fridge for up to one month or freeze for up to 6 months.
