Stuffed Dates and Peanut Butter Recipe
Delicious medjool dates are stuffed with peanut butter and coated in chocolate for the perfect snack - like a Snickers date! Gluten free and high in fibre - and oh-so-moreish!!
Servings: 10 dates
Ingredients
- 10 medjool dates
- 10 tsp crunchy peanut butter
- 100 g milk chocolate (3.5oz)
- Sea salt flakes
Instructions
- Break the chocolate into small pieces and add to a heatproof bowl. Either melt slowly over a pan of hot (not boiling) water, or microwave in 20-second intervals until completely melted and smooth.
- Cut the dates in half lengthways (without cutting all the way through) and remove the stones.
- Fill the dates with a teaspoon of peanut butter each. Then dip each date in the milk chocolate, using a fork to coat them and drain off any excess chocolate.
- Pop the dates on a board or plate lined with parchment paper and sprinkle with a few salt flakes each. Place in the fridge and chill until set.

Notes
- Top Tip: You can also enjoy these stuffed dates frozen! I love them when they are partially frozen, and have been in the freezer for maybe 20-30 minutes. You can also keep them in the freezer - remove 10 mins before eating, then tuck in.
- Storage: These are best kept in the fridge so the chocolate doesn't melt. They'll last a week-or-two - if you can resist them that long!
- Variations: Feel free to change the chocolate to dark or white chocolate, or use dairy free. You can also use any nut butter you like, or tahini for a nut-free recipe.
