Servings: 20 dates
Calories: 83kcal
Ingredients
- 20 pitted dates 12 oz. package
- 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter 80g
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 Tbsp. coconut oil
- 1/4 cup pistachios crushed
- flakey sea salt
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Make a slit in each date, across the top. Carefully pry open the slit to make it easier to fill.
- Spoon peanut butter into each date. Fill each with about 1 teaspoon of peanut butter (4g) but do not overflow. Place the filled dates in a freezer for 10 minutes to harden up.
- Once the dates are set, prepare your chocolate. In a small microwave-safe bowl bowl add dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Cook for 1 minute. Remove from the microwave and stir well. The chocolate will continue to melt as you stir. If needed, pop it back into the microwave for an additional 20 seconds. Mixture should be smooth. Once dates are set, prepare your dipping station. This part will go quickly so be sure to have your chocolate, sea salt and crushed pistachios ready.
- Place stuffed dates in the chocolate one at a time. Roll it around with a fork to fully coat. Drip excess chocolate off before placing back on the baking sheet. Quickly sprinkle top with sea salt and crushed pistachios. With the stuffed dates being cold these will set very quickly. You will want to dip and sprinkle each date one at a time. Repeat this step until each date is dipped and sprinkled.
