Ingredients
Scale
- 12 Medjool dates
- 6 to 12 teaspoons creamy peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons crushed peanuts
- 3/4 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Cut the dates in half (and remove the pits). Add about 1 teaspoon peanut butter (or less, depending on the size of the date) and a generous sprinkle of crushed peanuts. Place the halves back together and form them into a bar shape with your fingers (pressing down to round the corners).
- Place the chocolate in a liquid measuring cup with the 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil and heat in 10 second bursts in the microwave until melted.
- Use 2 forks to dip in each of the dates, then shake off the extra chocolate. Place the dates on a parchment-lined baking sheet. If desired, add a small chocolate drizzle with a fork to the top. Freeze 5 minutes to set, then enjoy. Store refrigerated for up to 2 weeks (allow the dates to come to room temperature for about 15 minutes before enjoying).
Notes
Tip: If you love chocolate with flaky sea salt, you could add it to top the peanut butter layer for an even stronger pop of savory sweet flavor.
