For years I’ve had a go-to snack that satisfies my sweet tooth: a date stuffed with peanut butter. (Or almond butter or sunflower seed butter when I was breastfeeding Luke and he had multiple protein intolerances.) If you’ve not tried that tasty little combination, you must.

But now I’m presenting you with a new obsession: CHOCOLATE-COVERED PEANUT BUTTER STUFFED DATES. 100% worthy of the all caps computer yelling. This is next-level good and I can’t believe I didn’t think to try this sooner.

It’s like you’re eating a mini candy bar. Except with good-for-you ingredients. I even used stevia-sweetened chocolate chips, so this is a no-added-sugar dessert. Yep, I called it a dessert. The healthiest, most delicious little dessert package ever.and hand holding a Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Stuffed Date with a white background

The best part about these Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Stuffed Dates (wow-that’s a mouthful!) is they’re SO easy to make. You need three ingredients and a few minutes and you’ll have a batch ready to go. Let me show you.

Recipe Ingredients-What You Need

  • 30 large pitted dates
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter
  • 1 (9 ounce) bag stevia-sweetened chocolate chips

So simple! You’ll want to keep these three ingredients on hand all the time so you can make these on the regular. Trust me.

How to Make Chocolate-Covered Peanut Butter Stuffed Dates

  1. Use a knife to cut a length-wise slits in the dates.cutting a slit in a date with a knife and a white background
  2. Fill the opening with peanut butter.peanut butter stuffed inside a date being held with a hand
  3. Meanwhile, melt the chocolate chips. To do so, either heat them over a double boiler on the stove until they appear soft. Remove from heat and stir them to melt completely. Alternatively, microwave them in a glass bowl for 1 minute, then stir, and microwave in 20 second increments until they appear soft and you can stir them to melt completely.chocolate chips in a glass bowl on the stove
  4. Use a toothpick or a fork to dip the dates into the melted chocolate. Place the chocolate covered dates on a baking sheet that’s lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.dipping a peanut butter stuffed date in chocolate with a toothpick
  5. Place the chocolate covered dates in the freezer until the chocolate is firm, at least 20 minutes.
  6. Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. These can also be stored in the freezer.

Recipe Notes

  • Any nut or seed butter can be substituted. We like chunky peanut butter, but smooth works, too!
  • We prefer Deglet Noor Dates for this recipe.
