CHOCOLATE COVERED PEANUT BUTTER DATE BITES-1
CHOCOLATE COVERED PEANUT BUTTER DATE BITES-2

These chocolate covered peanut butter date bites are simple, rich, and perfect for holiday treats or when you want something sweet and nourishing. Medjool dates—often called nature’s caramel—are filled with creamy peanut butter and walnuts, then dipped in dark organic chocolate and finished with flaky sea salt. Dates provide fiber and potassium, while the healthy fats from the nuts help balance blood sugar and make each bite satisfying. Great for gifting, sharing, or keeping in the freezer for an easy, wholesome snack. Almond butter, cashew butter, hazelnut butter, or pumpkin seed butter can be used in place of peanut butter if desired.

Ingredients
12 medjool dates pitted
4 tablespoons creamy peanut butter (or another nut butter)
12 raw walnuts (or pecans)
6 ounces dark chocolate bar broken into pieces
