These chocolate-covered dates are the perfect blend of natural sweetness and indulgence, combining creamy peanut butter, dark chocolate, and chewy Medjool dates. With minimal ingredients and no baking required, they offer a quick and healthy alternative to sugary treats, making them ideal for on-the-go snacks or after-dinner desserts.

Ingredients

• 10 Medjool dates (pitted)

• 1/3 cup peanut butter (natural, creamy)

• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (70% or more cocoa)

• 1 tsp coconut oil

• Optional: Crushed nuts or flaky sea salt for topping

Directions

• Prepare the Dates: Slice each pitted date open lengthwise, creating a small pocket.

• Fill with Peanut Butter: Spoon a small amount of peanut butter into each date, then gently press the sides together.

  

• Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth.

• Coat the Dates: Dip each filled date into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Place them on a parchment-lined tray.

  

• Chill: Sprinkle crushed nuts or sea salt on top (optional) and refrigerate for 20 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
