Medjool dates are a staple in the Middle East and are known for their caramel-like flavor. These dates are naturally sweet and are a good source of fiber, making them a perfect base for various dessert recipes. In recent years, dates have become popular in social media as a healthier alternative to refined sugar.

Ingredients:Medjool dates, pitted. Dates can be purchased already pitted. – Unsalted peanuts. Roasted unsalted peanuts are the best. – Dairy free dark chocolate chips. I recommend 72% cacao.

Step 1: Prepare the Dates Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Start with preparing the dates by removing the pit if needed. Make sure the dates are room temp.

Step 2: Add the Nuts Add the peanuts in the middle of each date.

Step 3: Melt the Chocolate Place the dark chocolate in small microwavable bowl and microwave in 20 second increments, stirring in between until completely melted.

Step 4: Drizzle Drizzle the dark chocolate over the dates. Let the chocolate harden for a few minutes. You can set the dessert dates in the fridge to harden.

Tips:Added Crunch: For extra texture, try shredded coconut or cacao nibs inside the dates or top with flaky sea salt. – Healthier Option: These dates are a great alternative to candy bars like Snickers bars, providing a healthier snack without the added sugar. I like to enjoy them as a pre-wrokout snack or afternoon pick me up. – Use Room Temp Dates: This will make it easier when pitting them and opening them up.
