Ingredients
You will need…
- 24 Medjool Dates
- 2-3 tbsp of Peanut Butter
- 100g Dark Chocolate

Method
- Line a tray with baking paper. Then split the dates in half, remove the stone and place it onto the tray. Repeat and slightly overlap each date and press.
- Place the peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 15-30 seconds or until it has become softer. Spread the peanut butter over the dates.
- Melt the dark chocolate in the microwave using 30-second intervals, until fully melted, stir between intervals.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate over the peanut butter and dates. Using a knife, or the back of a spoon, spread evenly.
- Lastly, sprinkle sea salt on top and place in the freezer for 30-40 minutes. Once the chocolate is set, remove it and cut it into squares. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
