Ingredients
- 10 medjool dates
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1/4 cup choped or crushed peanuts
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chunks or chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Directions
- Cut a slit in each date and remove the pit.
- Fill each date with peanut butter (about half a teaspoon) and a sprinkle of crushed peanuts. Set aside.
- Place the dark chocolate and the coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl and melt in the microwave in 15-second increments, stirring between each. It shouldn't take longer than one to two minutes in total.
- Using a toothpick, dip each date into melted chocolate and use a spoon to coat the date until completely covered. Place chocolate-covered dates on a platter lined with parchment. Sprinkle the remaining crushed peanuts on top of each date.
- Place the dates in the fridge to allow the chocolate to set.
- Keep leftover chocolate-covered dates in a sealed container in the fridge for up to a week. Enjoy!
