Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Dates
Chocolate covered peanut butter dates are the easiest, no oven, perfect sweet treat! It's simple to make a big batch to keep in the freezer for when your sweet tooth calls. The combination of the dates that taste like caramel with the peanut butter and the richness of the chocolate make them taste like an actual candy bar. Oh, and don't forget the sea salt! It's key to really elevating the flavor! They are just so good.
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 8 medjool dates pitted (i like to pit myself)
- ½ cup peanut butter or any nut/ seed butter
- 4 oz dark chocolate or ½ cup chocolate chips, melted
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- flakey sea salt for topping
Instructions
- Pit medjool dates. Stuff each date with about 1 tbsp of peanut butter. You can refrigerate the stuffed dates for about 30 minutes to make them easier to dip, but you don't have to.
- Melt the chocolate and coconut oil together on the stovetop or in the microwave.
- Dip each date in the chocolate mixture and lay on a parchment lined sheet pan. Sprinkle with flakey sea salt.
- When you're done, place the dates in the fridge to harden the chocolate for about 30 min- 1 hour. Enjoy!
- Feel free to double the batch if you want extras!
Notes
For Storing: Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
For Freezing: Freeze in a freezer bag for up to 3 months in the freezer. Remove from freezer and thaw for 10-15 minutes before enjoying! This is my preferred method especially if I'm making a big batch to have extras!
