Description
Stuffed Dates with Peanut Butter & Chocolate are a quick, no-bake treat made with Medjool dates, creamy peanut butter, and rich melted chocolate. They’re sweet, salty, chewy, and indulgent — like a healthier candy bar.
Ingredients
- 10 Medjool dates, pitted
- 2–3 tablespoons peanut butter (or any nut or seed butter)
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother melted chocolate)
- Pinch of sea salt (optional, for sprinkling)
Instructions
Slice each date lengthwise and remove the pit, keeping the date intact like a small boat.
- Fill each date with about a teaspoon of peanut butter.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate with coconut oil (if using) in 20–30 second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Drizzle or dip each stuffed date with the melted chocolate.
- Place the dates on a parchment-lined tray and sprinkle with sea salt if desired.
- Chill in the refrigerator or freezer for 10–15 minutes until the chocolate sets.
- Store in an airtight container and enjoy as needed.
Notes
- Use Medjool dates for the best texture and sweetness.
- For a nut-free option, use sunflower seed butter or tahini.
- Customize by adding granola, shredded coconut, or cacao nibs inside.
- These are freezer-friendly and taste great straight from the freezer.
