minutesIngredients
10 medjool dates
Nut butter or choice, I used peanut butter (roughly 3 tablespoons)
100g dark chocolate
sea salt flakes
Directions
- Slice each date lengthwise and remove the pit. Gently press the sides to form a heart shape.
- Spoon a small amount of peanut butter/nut butter into the center of each date.
- Using a fork, dip each stuffed date into the melted dark chocolate, coating it evenly. Let any excess chocolate drip off.
- Place the chocolate-coated dates on a lined baking tray and sprinkle with sea salt flakes.
- Let the dates set in the fridge for about 15-20 minutes until the chocolate hardens. Enjoy!
