Chocolate Covered Dates stuffed with Almond Butter

Aug 24

Okay, these are to die for! These dates are the most decadent delicious bite there is. My roommate and I absolutely love making these things. The good thing about them is it just takes one date to feel satisfied. I top each date with a pinch of flaky salt leaving your mouth watering over the sweet and salty taste. Feel free to use any chocolate chips you’d like. I prefer Hu dark chocolate baking gems!

INGREDIENTS

10 medjool dates, remove the pits

4 tbsp almond butter
