Chocolate Covered Dates Stuffed with Peanut Butter
These decadent chocolate dates are simple and easy to assemble. The caramelly dates pair wonderfully with the slightly bitter dark chocolate and crunchy peanut butter. The result is a show-stoppingly fantastic chocolate date recipe that everyone will love. This is a great recipe to get family and friends involved with over the festive season and can be adjusted very easily for different palettes or dietary requirements.
Ingredients
Method
Begin by melting the chocolate, either in a bowl over a saucepan of simmering water or in the microwave.
Pinch the dates so that they open slightly and fill generously with the peanut butter. Pop this in the melted chocolate until the date is fully coated and then transfer to a rack so that the excess chocolate runs off. Repeat these steps for the required amount of dates.
Once done, pop the rack in the fridge for an hour for the chocolate to set. These are perfect served alongside a nice hot cup of Spiced Apple Winter Warmer drink.
