Ingredients

  • 4 soft Medjool dates
  • 2 tablespoons nut butter approximately (my personal favorite is peanut butter)
  • 2 tablespoons vegan chocolate chips approximately

Instructions

  • The idea here is to create a sweet “taco” in a sense, where the date is the shell and the nut butter and chocolate chips are the fillings. Remove the pits in the dates by cutting into the top lengthwise just until you hit the pit. Don’t cut all the way through. Remove and discard the pits.
  • Spoon some nut butter into the opening of each date “shell.” Top with roughly chopped vegan chocolate chips lined along the opening.
  • Optional step: place in a covered container and freeze until hardened if you prefer a chewier and more candy-like stuffed dates. 
  • Serve, and enjoy!

Notes

These can be enjoyed right after making them, as soft and gooey sweet treats with a little crunch from the chocolate. But my favorite way to enjoy stuffed dates is frozen. I make a big batch of these and pluck one out of the freezer whenever I need a sweet treat. They will stay good in the freezer for several weeks, at least.
