Peanut Butter Chocolate Dates

Dates are one of my favorite things to eat when I am looking for a satiating sweet treat. They have a wonderful chewy texture, and a sweet, caramel-like flavor. I love the Medjool variety- the are the largest variety and I personally think they have the best flavor too! I have been eating dates with peanut butter inside for awhile, but adding chocolate takes them to the next level!

Ingredients

8 medjool dates

8 tsp peanut butter

1/4 cup chocolate chips, melted

2 Tbsp shredded coconut

Directions

Cut a lengthwise slit in each date to remove the pit, making sure the cut does not go all the way through.

Fill each date with 1 tsp of peanut butter, closing the date once the peanut butter is fully inside.

Spoon the melted chocolate over the top of each date (the part with the seam).

Sprinkle coconut on top of the chocolate.

Eat while the chocolate is melty or refrigerate until the chocolate is set.

Enjoy!
