Chewy "Reese's" Dates
Chewy dates stuffed with almond butter and dipped in dark chocolate, a naturally sweet twist on a classic candy
Ingredients
- 1 package medjool dates
- 1/2 c almond butter The amount depends on how large the dates are. May also use nut butter of choice
- 1 c dark chocolate chips
- 2 tsp coconut oil
Instructions
- If the dates are not already pitted, slice them lengthwise and remove the seeds
- Stuff each date with almond butter, this will vary on the size of the dates. Line the dates on parchment paper or foil on a sheet pan and put them into the freezer for about 10 minutes, or until the almond butter is solid
- In a small bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil and microwave in 30-second increments until the chocolate is melted. Dip the dates in the chocolate and place them back on the sheet pan. Freeze for another 10 minutes or until the chocolate has set
- Store the dates in the refrigerator for up to 10 days
Notes
Depending on the size and number of the dates, you may need more chocolate to cover all of them. Repeat melting chocolate and coconut oil a time or two until you have successfully covered all of the dates.
