Ingredients
Scale
12 medjool dates
3 tablespoons peanut butter
1/4 cup peanuts, chopped
9 ounces dark chocolate
Instructions
- Fill. Cut one side of each date from top to bottom creating a slit. Fill each date with peanut butter and a few peanuts. Close the date as best you can and wipe away any excess peanut butter.
- Dip. Melt the chocolate according to package instructions and place into a small bowl. Drop a single peanut butter stuffed date into the melted chocolate and swirl with a spoon until the date is fully coated. Remove and place on parchment lined baking sheet or plate.
- Sprinkle. While the chocolate is still wet sprinkle each date with the crushed peanuts and flaky sea salt so that it will set into the chocolate.
- Chill. Once you have finished, place them into the fridge for 10 to 15 minutes for the chocolate to fully set. Enjoy!
