• servings: 12 servings
• active time: 20 minutes
• total time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

12 medjool dates

¼ cup peanut butter (divided)

¼ cup chopped roasted peanuts (divided)

4 ounces dark chocolate bar (cut into chunks)

Directions

Use a small sharp knife to cut a slit in each date lengthwise. Remove the pits.

Fill each date with 1 teaspoon peanut butter and add 1 teaspoon of crushed peanuts on top. Set aside.

Place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Place the bowl in the microwave at 30 second intervals. Stir the chocolate in between each 30 seconds until all the chocolate is melted.

Place a toothpick inside each stuffed date and dip the date in the melted chocolate. Use a spoon to coat the date completely in the chocolate, then allow any excess chocolate to drip off.

Transfer the chocolate covered date to a tray or plate lined with parchment. Sprinkle the top with the remaining crushed peanuts.

Place the dates in the fridge to allow the chocolate to set, about 10 minutes.
