Emily Mariko's Chocolate-Covered Dates Recipe With Photos

Ingredients

  1. 20 dried dates
    1/4 cup almonds, chopped
    2 tablespoons peanut butter
    1 cup chocolate morsels for melting
    1 tablespoon coconut oil

Directions

  1. Slice each date lengthwise enough to remove the pit and create a pocket for the filling while keeping the date intact.
  2. Carefully stuff each date with 1/2 teaspoon peanut butter and a pinch of chopped almonds, then squeeze the date slightly to close the pocket.
  3. In a small bowl, melt chocolate and coconut oil together until the chocolate is silky smooth and runny.
  4. Dip each date into the chocolate, then place the date on a baking tray or plate lined with parchment paper.
  5. Place the tray of chocolate-covered dates in the freezer to harden for 5-10 minutes.
  6. Once the chocolate coating has hardened, remove the dates from the freezer and drizzle with an additional coating of chocolate using a fork.
  7. Let the additional chocolate harden in the fridge or briefly in the freezer before serving.
