Stuffed Dates Covered in Chocolate

4-Ingredient Dark Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Stuffed Dates. (chocolate eggs)

Ingredients

16 plump medjool dates

16 tablespoons creamy peanut butter OR other nut/seed butter

8 ounces dark chocolate or vegan chocolate chips

1 tablespoon coconut oil

chia seeds, hemp seeds, cacao nibs, toasted or raw coconut flakes, flaky sea salt, for topping (optional)

Instructions

Line a baking sheet with wax or parchment paper.

Slice the dates in half lengthwise, being careful not to 

slice the date all the way in half. Remove the pits of the date. Stuff each date with 1 tablespoon of peanut butter and place on the prepared baking sheet.

Repeat with the remaining dates. Place the dates in the freezer and freeze for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, melt together the dark chocolate and coconut oil in a  2 qt or larger  melt until smooth.

Once the dates are well chilled, dip in the chocolate using a fork. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off the dates and then place the date back on the baking sheet and sprinkle with your desired topping. Repeat with the remaining dates. Chill the dates in the fridge for 30 minutes or until the chocolate is set.

Keep stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
