Description

These Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate Stuffed Dates are a delicious and easy-to-make treat combining the natural sweetness of Medjool dates with creamy peanut butter and rich dark chocolate. Finished with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt, they offer a perfect balance of flavors and texture—ideal as a quick snack or a healthy dessert option.

Ingredients

Scale

Dates

  • 12 oz Medjool dates, pitted

Filling

  • 1/2 cup peanut butter

Topping

  • 1.75 – 3.5 oz dark chocolate (adjust depending on desired amount for drizzling)
  • Sea salt flakes, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Dates: Spread the pitted Medjool dates evenly on a parchment paper-lined sheet pan or plate to ensure easy filling and coating.
  2. Stuff Dates: Fill each date with peanut butter according to your preference. For 12 oz of dates, 1/2 cup peanut butter is a suitable amount, but feel free to adjust based on how much filling you desire.
  3. Melt Chocolate: Using a double boiler, gently melt the dark chocolate until smooth and glossy. Use between 1.75 oz to 3.5 oz depending on how generously you want to drizzle over each stuffed date.
  4. Drizzle Chocolate: Drizzle the melted dark chocolate over the peanut butter-stuffed dates using a spoon or fork to create thin lines or light coats.
  5. Season with Sea Salt: Immediately after drizzling chocolate, sprinkle flaky sea salt on each date to enhance the flavor contrast.
  6. Chill to Set: Place the chocolate peanut butter dates in the refrigerator to set for 15 to 30 minutes until the chocolate hardens and is ready to serve.

Notes

  • Use Medjool dates for their natural softness and sweetness, which pair perfectly with peanut butter and chocolate.
  • You can substitute peanut butter with almond butter or other nut butters if preferred.
  • Adjust the amount of dark chocolate depending on how much drizzle coverage you want.
  • Sprinkling sea salt enhances the sweet and savory balance but can be omitted if preferred.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
