Author: Ella Smith
Recipe type: snack
Serves: 6
- 2 ounces dark chocolate, chopped and melted
- 1½ teaspoon coconut oil, melted
- 6 medjool dates, pitted
- 6 teaspoons natural peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
- Additional toppings: slivered almonds, granola, unsweetened shredded coconut, chopped peanuts
- Line a large plate or baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Chop chocolate.
- In a medium heat-safe bowl, melt chocolate with coconut oil in microwave in 15-second intervals until completely melted, stirring between each one.
- Pit dates and cut each one open, down the middle (the long way), not cutting all the way through.
- With a teaspoon, scoop ½-1 teaspoon peanut butter into the center of each date.
- Close each date. (It's okay for some peanut butter to be bursting out.)
- Dip each date into melted chocolate and roll around to cover all surfaces.
- Place dates on lined plate. Immediately sprinkle toppings on top.
- Refrigerate to harden.
- Store in airtight container in refrigerator.
