Chocolate & Peanut Butter Stuffed Dates

Prep time: 10 minutes
Chill time: 30 minutes
Makes: 12

INGREDIENTS
12 large FreshLife Medjool Dates
½ cup smooth peanut butter
¼ cup FreshLife Shredded Coconut
200g dark chocolate, broken into pieces
1 tsp coconut oil

Toppings
Flakey sea salt 
FreshLife Shredded Coconut 
FreshLife Chopped Peanuts

METHOD

  • Cut a slit lengthwise on the dates with a knife, pull the flesh open and remove the pit. Make the cuts slightly wider so they are easier to stuff and set aside.

  • In a bowl, combine the smooth peanut butter and FreshLife Shredded Coconut. Using a small spoon, add 1-2 teaspoons of the peanut butter mixture to each date, gently pinching it closed. Set the stuffed dates aside.

  • Add the dark chocolate and coconut oil to a microwave-proof bowl. Heat in the microwave in 15-second bursts, stirring in between until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.

  • Using a fork, carefully dip the dates into the chocolate until well coated. Let the excess chocolate drip off and set aside on a tray lined with baking paper. Repeat with the remaining dates. Sprinkle the tops of the dates with your chosen toppings.

  • Set the dates aside in the fridge for 30 minutes or until the chocolate is fully set. Alternatively, put the dates in the freezer until set and enjoy frozen.
