Reader ratingsMedjool dates stuffed with nut butter and dipped in dark chocolate — a two-bite treat that tastes like a candy bar.
Why it’s good for you

Ingredients
Instructions
- Slit each date lengthwise and remove the pit.
- Fill each with a small spoonful of nut butter and press closed.
- Melt the dark chocolate gently in a bowl set over simmering water, or in short microwave bursts.
- Dip each stuffed date halfway into the chocolate and set on parchment.
- Sprinkle with flaky salt and chopped pistachios.
- Chill 15 minutes until the chocolate sets. Store in the fridge.
Tips

- These satisfy a sweet craving with just a little dark chocolate and no refined sugar.
