Chocolate Covered Dates

These dates are stuffed with creamy peanut butter and get dipped in chocolate. Add some chopped nuts to the top or coarse sea salt for garnish. 

Dates stuffed with peanut butter are one of my favorite snacks lately and also one of Tiktok’s favorite snack.  They're so good and make the perfect sweet/salty snack. If you don’t like the taste of plain dates you might like these chocolate-covered ones stuffed with peanut butter. 

Dates are very nutritious and low on the glycemic index. They will not raise your blood sugar levels even when there’s peanut butter inside them. Dates also contain a lot of fiber and potassium. 

What Ingredients do I need? 

In this section, you can find substitutes or suggestions for certain ingredients. I also will try and list out what the ingredients' purpose is for. 

Medjool Dates  - Dates come either pitted or not pitted. The pit is pretty easy to remove. All you do is slice the date open and take it out. 

Peanut Butter - I really like Kirkland’s Organic peanut butter from Costco 

Chocolate - semi - sweet, milk chocolate or whatever type of melting chocolate you prefer 

Nuts or coarse sea salt - for topping 

How to make Chocolate Covered Dates 

You can print off the full recipe below. 

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 

Stuff each date with about a teaspoon of pean butter.  Place them in the fridge to set for 30 minutes. 

Melt chocolate with coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl for 1 to 3 minutes. Check occasionally and stir every 30 seconds until it’s all melted. 

Dip the stuffed date in the chocolate and rotate it around with a fork so that the date gets completely covered with chocolate. Then tap it on the side of the bowl to get rid of excess chocolate. 

Place the date on the parchment paper and garnish with coarse sea salt or chopped peanuts.
