I love these Chocolate Covered Dates because they are so tasty, gluten-free, and all-natural.

Ingredients

– 12 Medjool dates – 1/4 cup Creamy Peanut butter filling – 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate 70% melted

Step 1

Pit the dates. Make a slit into each Medjool date and remove the pit.

Step 2

Add filling. Now fill the center of each date with your filling of choice (I used peanut butter here).

Step 3

Close them. Secure the two split-open sides of the date using a toothpick, making sure to leave one side of the toothpick a little bit longer.

Step 5

Dip the dates into melted chocolate. Now melt the dark chocolate in the microwave-safe bowl, being careful not to scorch it. Then carefully dip the frozen dates into the melted chocolate, using a spoon to help fully coat the dates. Tap off any extra on the side of the bowl and quickly transfer it to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
