Date Snickers Bites
Ingredients
- 20 Medjool dates
- ½ cup seed butter or nut butter of choice
- 3 tablespoons chopped pistachios
- 1¼ cups semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
- ½ teaspoon avocado or coconut oil optional, helps with melting and smoothness
Instructions
- Using a small paring knife, make a lengthwise slit in each date and remove the pit. You can leave the date as is or cut each in half.
- Spoon about ½ tablespoon of seed or nut butter into each date.
- Place the filled dates on a lined plate or baking sheet and freeze until completely solid (at least 1 hour)
- Melt the Chocolate:
- **Double Boiler Method:** Add the chocolate and oil to a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water. Stir occasionally until melted and smooth.
- **Microwave Method:** Place the chocolate and oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth (about 1–2 minutes total).
- Remove the frozen dates from the freezer.
- Drizzle or dip them in the melted chocolate, then sprinkle with the chopped pistachios.
- Let the chocolate set at room temperature or place the dates back in the freezer for a few minutes until firm.
- Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer for up to two weeks.
