Ingredients

10–12 Medjool Dates 150g
1/4 cup Creamy Peanut Butter 62.5g
1/4 cup Roasted Peanuts 27.5g
1/2 cup Semi Sweet Choco Chips 87.5g

Instructions

Lightly oil a piece of parchment paper
Place a pitted date in-between the parchment paper and press down gently with the bottom of a glass, or use a rolling pin.
Spoon about 1 teaspoon of peanut butter into the center of each date. Press 3-4 peanuts into the peanut butter.
Sprinkle with crushed peanuts, and Chill – Place the stuffed dates in the freezer for about 10–15 minutes. This makes them easier to handle when dipping and helps the chocolate set faster.
In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely smooth.
Using a fork, dip each date into the melted chocolate until fully coated. Tap the fork on the side of the bowl to let the excess chocolate drip off.
Place the dates back on the parchment paper and place in the fridge or freezer for 30 minutes until the chocolate shell is hard.
