I did a similar post a few months ago, but since then I significantly jazzed up these little treats. I made 45 and it took ~2 hours. They’re honestly super easy but bring them to a dinner party and let everyone marvel at how talented you are.
Variations:
Pistachio with Matcha powder
Goji Berry and Coconut
Peanut butter (sunflower butter would be insane)
Cacao coated
Cashew with orange zest
Walnut
Hazelnut
Almond
You will need:
20 Medjool dates
Chocolate - 2/3 cup coconut oil, 4 tbsp cacao powder, 4 tbsp maple syrup
~1 handful of all ingredients listed above^, or whatever toppings you want to try
Mini cupcake wrappers for display
How to:
Chop all of your ingredients
Slice open dates with a knife the long way and de-pit
Stuff with toppings and use a toothpick to pierce the date closed so it stays together while you dip it in chocolate
Freeze the dates for 5 minutes while you do the next step
Melt coconut oil and add maple syrup and cocoa powder
Dip dates in chocolate and freeze for 5 minutes
Dip again and add toppings on top then freeze overnight. If you want to remove the toothpicks do it before you freeze them!
