Ingredients
  

  • 30-35 pitted dates
  • 1 cup melted chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter

Instructions
 

  • Get a baking sheet ready by lining it with parchment paper.
  • Take each date, slice it in half lengthwise, and remove the pit.
  • Lay the dates on a flat surface and gently flatten them with a cup.
  • Use a knife to spread a layer of peanut butter on the top of each date.
  • In a bowl safe for the microwave, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between. Move quickly to dip each date in the melted chocolate, flipping them with a fork for full coverage.
  • Place the coated dates on the prepared baking sheet and transfer them to the freezer for around 10 minutes, allowing the chocolate to set.
  • Serve them right away or store these delectable treats in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
