I can’t get enough of these Stuffed Chocolate Dates. They have quickly become a staple I always keep on hand in my freezer, mostly because they are just so freaking delicious, but also because they are really easy to make.

It’s the combo of sweet and chewy dates, creamy peanut butter, and rich chocolate for me – naturally sweetened and delightfully healthy.

I mean, what more could you want? Well, maybe some raspberries with their sweet and slight tart flavour and coconut to top it all off with a pop of color and texture.

But really, that’s about all I could ever ask for from a super simple-to-make, plant-forward dessert. This recipe is so easy to make, anyone can do it. It’s the kind of dessert that boasts a huge flavor payoff for very minimal effort.

As a bonus, chocolate dates are ideal for making ahead of time. Store them in the fridge for about a week or freeze for up to three months. (Of course, they never last that long in my house.)

I. LOVE. DATES. They are just one of those snack cabinet staples I can’t live without. In my quest to find healthier snacks, I have started buying more dates as I love to use dates as a base in most of my snack balls, no-bake bars, or if I need a natural sweetener in a cookie or frosting. They are little morsels of natural sugar and a great alternative to refined sugars. You don’t need many dates to make something sweet!

Dates are a great snack on their own and they are high in fiber, rich in antioxidants, great for heart health and they provide a little energy boost thanks to the natural sugars. They are little morsels of natural sugar and a great alternative to refined sugars.

The dried fruit has a caramel-like sweetness that can also help reduce cravings for sugary snacks. I’m always on the hunt though for creative ways to dress up my dates, and I just knew these peanut butter filled chocolate dates would be delicious!

Eating a few dates for a 3 p.m. sugar boost is good, but it can get a little boring, so I started to look for ways to jazz them up. There are lots of date-focused recipes on social media these days, but when I came across viral date bark I knew I had to try it. And it did not disappoint!

Servings 12

Ingredients

• 12 Medjool dates
• 1/4 cup peanut butter

Chocolate Coating

• 1/2 cup chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon coconut oil
• 1/4 cup freeze-dried raspberries, crushed
• 1 tablespoon shredded coconut

Instructions

• Slice dates three-quarters of the way through and remove the pits.

  Spoon one teaspoon of peanut butter into the center of each date and place on a parchment-lined freezer-safe plate.

  Transfer the dates to the freezer while you melt the chocolate.

  Place chocolate chips and coconut oil in small dish and microwave with 20 second bursts stirring between each one until melted and smooth.

  Or use double boiler method - (pot of boiling water with a bowl resting on top) melt the chocolate chips and the coconut oil together.

  Remove dates from the freezer. Drop one date in the melted chocolate and use a fork to spin it until it’s evenly coated in chocolate. Return the chocolate date to the parchment-lined plate. Repeat with the remaining dates.

  Mix the crushed raspberries and coconut in a small bowl (if using).

  While the chocolate is still melted, sprinkle the raspberry and coconut mixture on top of the dates. (I like to add the toppings to half of the date only but you can decorate however you like.)

  Chill chocolate dates in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
