Ingredients

• 12 pieces Medjool dates
• 0.5 cup almond butter
• 0.25 cup almonds
• 1 pinch sea salt
• 1 oz dark chocolate (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing your dates. Use a small sharp knife to make a slit along the length of each date and remove the pit, making sure the date remains intact.

Step 2

Take the almond butter and, using a spoon or a small piping bag, carefully fill each date with approximately one teaspoon of almond butter.

Step 3

Chop the almonds finely or crush them using a food processor.

Step 4

Sprinkle the chopped or crushed almonds over the almond butter-filled dates, pressing gently to adhere.

Step 5

Add a small pinch of sea salt on top of the almond butter for an extra burst of flavor.

Step 6

If desired, melt the dark chocolate either using a microwave or a double boiler, and drizzle over the stuffed dates for a chocolatey touch.

Step 7

Arrange the almond butter stuffed dates on a serving plate or store them in an airtight container until ready to serve. Enjoy your delicious, healthy snack!
