Ingredients
- 12 dried deglet noor dates
- 2-4 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- Optional: sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions
- Melt the Chocolate: Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth and fully melted. Use short intervals to avoid burning the chocolate.
- Prepare the Dates: Slice each date lengthwise, like slicing a hot dog bun, to create a pocket for the filling.
- Fill the Dates: Spoon about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of peanut butter into each date, adjusting based on the size of the date.
- Coat with Chocolate: Using a fork, dip each peanut butter-filled date into the melted chocolate to fully coat it. Lift and place the coated date onto a sheet of parchment paper.
- Optional Garnish: Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of each chocolate-coated date for enhanced flavor contrast.
- Chill to Set: Refrigerate the coated dates for 20-30 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden and set.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of peanut butter based on your taste preference and the size of the dates.
- Use deglet noor dates for their natural sweetness and chewy texture.
- Store these treats in the refrigerator to keep the chocolate firm and fresh.
- For a smoother chocolate coating, you can temper the chocolate chips if desired.
- Sprinkling sea salt is optional but recommended to enhance the flavor balance.
