UK Metric Measures - US Customary Measures

Instructions

  • Melt the chocolate in a pan or microwave. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • De-stone 20 Medjool dates and use a flat-bottomed glass to flatted them onto the baking sheet.
  • Divide 75 g Almond butter between all of the dates - about 1 teaspoon per date. Spread it out over the date.
  • Divide 60 g Dark chocolate (melted) on top of the almond butter - about 1 teaspoon per date.
  • Divide the 25 g Pistachios between the chocolate topped dates.
  • Put into the fridge until the chocolate has set.

Notes

  • Why not sprinkle a little sea salt on top at the same time as the pistachios? The saltiness really brings out the sweetness of the chocolate and dates.
  • Make sure to use a glass or a rolling pin to smash the dates down. This makes them thinner and feels like you are having a bigger treat.
  • We just sprinkled some nuts on top of the melted chocolate, but you can put some on top of the nut butter, before the chocolate goes on, to add some extra texture.
  • If you are using a thick peanut butter, then you can heat it a little first to soften it before adding on to the dates.
  • If your chocolate it not melting very well, then you can add a little coconut oil to it and this will make the chocolate glossier too.
  • If you find your dates are quite dry, then you can soak them in hot water for 5 minutes before using. Just make sure to drain and blot the dates before using.
  • If you are melting the chocolate in the microwave, then do it for 30 seconds at a time.
