Ingredients

🫒 12 medjool dates
🥜 1/4 cup peanut butter
🥜 Salted roasted peanuts (optional)
🍫 1 cup chocolate chips
🥥 1 teaspoon coconut oil

Instructions

1- Prepare the Dates:

Using a sharp knife, create an opening in each date without cutting through entirely.
Carefully remove the pit to create a cavity.

2- Fill the Dates:

Fill the cavity of each date with approximately 1 teaspoon of peanut butter.
You can also add two whole roasted peanuts in each date for an extra crunch.

3- Prepare the Chocolate Coating:

Place the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl.
Heat in the microwave for 30 seconds, stir, and then return to the microwave for another 30 seconds.
Stir once more and continue heating for 15-second increments until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

4- Coat the Dates:

Once melted, dip each peanut butter-stuffed date into the chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated.
Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the date on a tray lined with parchment paper.

5- Add Toppings:

While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle over some crushed salted peanuts for added texture and flavor.

6- Set the Chocolate:

Allow the chocolate to set by placing the dates in the refrigerator or letting them sit at room temperature.
Once the chocolate is firm, these delectable treats are ready to be enjoyed!
