Chocolate Covered Dates✨
✨
It’s a DATE!
Dates are nature’s candy and when you stuff them with almonds, cover them in chocolate and sprinkle them with your favourite toppings, they are absolutely addicting 😍 Every Ramadan I make a few batches and they are delicious! Add them in a pretty box and they make the perfect gift. 🎁
What you’ll need:
•Medjool dates
•Almonds
•White Chocolate (melted)
•Milk Chocolate (melted)
•Pistachios, coconut flakes & edible rose petals to garnish (optional)
✨Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
✨Slice the dates lengthwise, being careful not to cut them completely in half and remove their pits.
✨Place 1 or 2 almonds in the centre (depending on the size of the date) and close date really well.
✨Place date in melted chocolate, take it out with a fork so excess chocolate can drip off & place on parchment lined tray
✨Top with your desired toppings while chocolate is still soft.
✨Allow dates to set in the refrigerator for a minimum of 1 hour before serving.
*Keep them stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
The possibilities for these are endless. They can be stuffed with pistachios, walnuts and even peanut butter. Have fun with them! And I guarantee you’ll get addicted 😋
