# Ingredients:
→ Everyday Ingredients
01 -
Soft, fresh Medjool dates (the bigger, the better)
02 -
Creamy peanut butter or any nut butter you like
03 -
Unsalted roasted peanuts or other nuts of your choice
04 -
Dark chocolate chips or a high-quality chocolate bar
05 -
A pinch of flaky sea salt for topping
# Instructions:
01 -
Take a look at each date and find the natural line. Cut along it to open them up, but leave one side connected.
02 -
Lay some parchment paper on a freezer-safe plate. Carefully open the dates to create small pockets you can fill later.
03 -
Scoop some nut butter into the pockets of each date. Add a few nuts for crunch, gently close them, and pop the dates in the freezer to firm up.
04 -
As the dates chill, melt the chocolate until smooth and shiny. Let it cool a bit so it coats the dates well.
05 -
Grab the chilled dates from the freezer and dunk each one into the melted chocolate. Use two spoons to make dipping easier and less messy.
06 -
Sprinkle some flaky sea salt on each chocolate-covered date while the chocolate is still wet. Freeze again until everything is hardened.
# Notes:
01 -
Keep them stored in the freezer in a sealed container
02 -
Eat them straight from the freezer for the best bite
