My Chocolate Covered Stuffed Nut Butter Dates are a delicious indulgence. Rich in fiber, minerals, vitamins, and protein, these treats are certain to delight both a crowd and your appetite.
Dates are packed with nutrients such as fiber, antioxidants, anti-inflammatory properties, and magnesium. Moreover, they have a low glycemic index. Pairing dates with nut butter introduces protein, which helps maintain a feeling of fullness. My Chocolate Covered Nut Butter Dates will keep you satisfied for several hours after consuming a couple. Remember, these treats are calorie-dense, so having 1 or 2 should suffice.
Chocolate Covered Stuffed Nut Butter Dates
Yields: 15 dates
Prep-time: 5 minutes
Chill-time: ~1 hour
Equipment: 1 dinner size plate, parchment paper, paring knife, cutting board, medium microwavable mixing bowl, spoon, butter knife.
Ingredients
15 pitted Medjool Dates, sliced almost in half
1/2 cup nut butter, I used creamy peanut butter
1 cup vegan chocolate chips, or regular
almond slivers as your topping
hemp seeds as your topping
Directions
Place some parchment paper on a plate, and set it aside.
On a cutting board, slice your dates almost in half and make sure to remove any stems. Then, place each date on the prepared plate.
Using a butter knife, spread about 1/3 of nut butter inside the center of each date.
Place the chocolate chips and remaining nut butter in a medium-sized microwavable mixing bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate and nut butter are melted and combined.
Immerse each date halfway into the melted chocolate mixture, then return it directly to the plate. After dipping all the dates, use a spoon to drizzle the remaining chocolate mixture over each date, nearly covering the top.
Next, sprinkle hemp seeds and almond slivers, or any healthy topping you like.
Place in the fridge for at least an or until the chocolate has set.
Enjoy!
