16 pieces Medjool dates pitted and sliced lengthwise
16 tablespoons Creamy peanut butter or other nut/seed butter
8 ounces Dark chocolate or vegan chocolate chips
1 tablespoon Coconut oil
Optional toppings chia seeds, hemp seeds, cacao nibs, toasted coconut flakes, or flaky sea salt

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dates
Start by gently slicing each medjool date lengthwise. Make sure not to cut all the way through; you want to create a pocket for the peanut butter.
Step 2: Stuff the Dates
Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each date with about one tablespoon of creamy peanut butter. Press gently to close the date around the filling.
Step 3: Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate and coconut oil. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
Step 4: Coat the Stuffed Dates
Dip each stuffed date into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Use a fork to lift them out, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off.
Step 5: Add Toppings
While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle your choice of toppings over the dates. Get creative—this is your chance to add a personal touch!
Step 6: Set the Dates
Place the chocolate-covered dates on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Once all dates are coated and topped, refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely set.

Store dates in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
To freeze, lay dates in a single layer on a baking sheet until solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe container.
Thaw frozen dates in the refrigerator before enjoying.
