Peanut Butter Chocolate Dates
Peanut Butter Chocolate Dates are a sweet, salty, no-bake treat made with soft Medjool dates, creamy peanut butter, and a smooth chocolate coating.
Ingredients
- 12 medjool dates
- ¼ cup peanut butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet or plate with parchment paper.
- Slice each Medjool date lengthwise and remove the pit, being careful not to cut all the way through.
- Spoon a small amount of peanut butter into the center of each date, then gently press the date closed.
- Add the chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each one, until smooth.
- Dip each stuffed date into the melted chocolate, letting any excess drip off, then place it on the prepared baking sheet.
- Chill in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
- Store in the refrigerator or freezer until ready to serve.

Notes
- Use soft Medjool dates: Fresh, soft dates are easier to open, stuff, and bite into. If your dates feel dry, soak them in warm water for a few minutes, then pat them completely dry before filling.
- Do not overfill the dates: A little peanut butter goes a long way. Overfilling can make the dates harder to close and messier to dip.
- Thin the chocolate with coconut oil: Coconut oil helps the melted chocolate coat the dates smoothly and set with a better texture.
- Chill until fully set: Let the chocolate firm up completely before storing so the dates do not stick together.
- Add toppings before chilling: If using chopped nuts or flaky salt, sprinkle them on right after dipping while the chocolate is still melted.
