What do I need to make the chocolate covered stuffed dates?

• soft dates
• nut butter
• dark chocolate

I went for Persian dates because they are soft and really sweet and not expensive as Medjool dates. I bought a box of 50 dates from a local shop for £1.50. I used almond butter for this recipe but you can use any nut butter that you have. If you want to add extra flavour and sweetness you could try stuffing Biscoff spread or cream cheese. After you coat the dates, you can sprinkle chopped nuts or dry fruits if you wish.

It’s so easy and an absolutely non-failure recipe!

1. Cut each date a little bit to remove the pit.
2. tuff each date with about 1/2 tsp of your nut butter.

5. Dip a date in the melted chocolate and roll around to coat completely. Place on a flat plate.
