Ingredients

2 tablespoons peanut butter
1 tablespoon peanut butter powder
2 tablespoons roasted peanuts
½ cup dairy-free chocolate chips
½ teaspoon coconut oil

Cups - Metric

Instructions

Test your dates. Are they firm? If so, here's how to gently soften them. Heat a cup of water in a large mug for 30 seconds in the microwave. Add a tea strainer (it should rest above the water line. Add the dates and let them sit above the hot water for 1 to 2 minutes until they soften).
Cut a small, lengthwise slice in one of the dates and remove the pitt. Repeat with the remaining dates.
Stir together peanut butter and peanut butter powder. Add a teaspoon of this peanut butter mixture inside each date.
Chop the roasted nuts. Add a bit of chopped roasted nuts to each date.
Place chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Stir and then heat for 30 seconds. Stir and then repeat if necessary to melt the chocolate.
Dip the stuffed dates in the melted chocolate and transfer to a pan lined with waxed paper. Add additional chopped nuts on top (while the chocolate is still wet). Once all the dates are coated in chocolate and resting on the pan, transfer the pan to the fridge for the chocolate to set.
