  • Once chocolate is melted, set aside
  • Prep your dates. Using a scissor, cut open each date carefully and remove pit. We are going to close them up once stuffed, so try to keep at least one end of the date intact.

  • Once pits are removed, stuff each date with a little almond butter. About ¼-½ tsp depending on the size of the date. You do not want to overstuff these or it will be messy!

Notes

  1. If you are allergic to tree nuts or peanuts, you can stuff these with tahini and they are just as delicious! 
  2. These can be made with any chocolate, nut butter, or nuts of your choosing. 
  3. For a salty and sweet bite, use salted nuts or top with flaky salt before the chocolate sets.
