    Chocolate Covered Almond Butter Stuffed Dates 

    This healthy dessert is so simple to make with just a handful of ingredients! Here's what you'll need:

    HOW TO MAKE THIS CHOCOLATE COVERED STUFFED DATES RECIPE

    1. Start by slicing the medjool dates lengthwise, and stuff them with about a ยฝ teaspoon of almond butter.
    2. Melt the dark chocolate and a teaspoon of coconut oil in the microwave and keep heating in 30 second intervals until smoothe. You can use a double boiler instead.
    3. Using a fork (or stick a toothpick through the date), dip into the melted chocolate until covered on all sides. Place chocolate coated dates on parchment paper on a baking sheet or tray, and sprinkle with toppings.
    4. Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze for 10 minutes until the chocolate sets. You can also use the fridge, but it takes longer!

    TIPS AND ADAPTATIONS

    • You can use any chocolate you like, I used dairy free chocolate chips to keep this recipe plant-based.
    • Go ahead and use any toppings you love! Chopped nuts, chia seeds, sea salt, coconut...I sprinkled some of ours with edible flowers!
    • Any nut butter stuffed inside the date works. Sun Butter is also a delicious, allergy-friendly idea!
    • Store in the fridge for up to one week in an air tight container (but they wonโ€™t last that long!)
