Almond Stuffed Chocolate Covered Dates
This is one of my favorite desserts because it is
a) simple & nutritious
b) doesn't require much time or special kitchen tools and
c) It's so delicious that people will contact you to find out about the recipe if you make this for a potluck or dinner party.

Servings: 10
Prep time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
  • 10 dates 
  • 1/4 cup almond butter (peanut butter, sunflower butter or others work too)
  • 10 almonds (or any other nuts work too like walnuts, pistachios, etc.)
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • Maldon Sea Salt (for decorating)
Instructions:
  1. Pit dates and open up dates only half-way so that you can add fillings
  2. Using a small spoon, scoop in a small amount of almond butter and place one nut in the middle of each date and press dates together slightly. 
  3. Once all dates are filled, prepare your chocolate. Place chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe dish. Place bowl with chocolate chips in microwaves and heat at 20-second intervals, making sure to stir chocolate chips in between each interval so not to burn chocolate chips. Once most chocolate chips are melted, keep stirring until everything is completely melted and combined. 
  4. Prepare a plate with parchment paper
  5. With a fork and spoon, dip dates into chocolate until covered. Then remove from chocolate and set on parchment paper covered plate and immediately sprinkle a small amount of Maldon sea salt on top. 
  6. Once all dates are covered in chocolate, place them in the fridge to allow chocolate to harden completely. 
  7. You can either serve the chocolate covered dates whole or cut them in half. Enjoy!
