Description
Decadent bite-sized treats made with creamy almond butter stuffed inside dates and coated in rich dark chocolate. A perfect healthy indulgence!
Ingredients
- 12 Medjool dates, pitted
- 1/2 cup almond butter (smooth or crunchy)
- 1/2 tsp sea salt (optional)
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- Flaky sea salt or crushed almonds for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Slice each date lengthwise and remove the pit if not already pitted.
- Fill each date with about 1 teaspoon of almond butter. Sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt if desired.
- Place the stuffed dates on a tray lined with parchment paper and freeze for 10–15 minutes to firm up.
- Meanwhile, melt dark chocolate and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler until smooth.
- Dip each chilled, stuffed date into the melted chocolate, using a fork to coat and let excess drip off.
- Place coated dates back onto the parchment-lined tray and sprinkle with flaky sea salt or crushed almonds while the chocolate is still wet.
- Refrigerate for at least 15–20 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage.
Notes
- Swap almond butter for peanut, cashew, or sunflower seed butter based on preference or allergies.
- Use 70% or higher dark chocolate for a lower sugar option.
- Freeze before dipping for easier handling and faster chocolate setting.
