Chocolate Covered Dates with Pistachios
These dates covered in chocolate are a healthy, nutrient-rich snack for the family! Enjoy them right out of the freezer, or serve them in a lunchbox or as an after-school snack!
Ingredients
- 20 medjool dates
- 1 cup chocolate chips, melted
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup pistachios, crushed
- 2 tsp chia seeds
- 1 Tbsp flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Slice your dates lengthwise and remove the pits from the dates (if they are not already de-pitted).
- Add your chocolate chips with a tsp of coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl, and heat in 30-second increments, stirring after each time. It took me about three 30-second increments. Heat mix until melted.
- Spread your dates out on a parchment-lined baking sheet or silicone sheet. Using a spoon, add a dollop of peanut butter to each date, followed by chopped pistachios and chia seeds.
- Close dates up and put them on a long wooden stick or toothpick. Dip each date in the melted chocolate and put it back on the baking sheet/parchment paper.
- Sprinkle with sea salt and transfer to the freezer for at least 2 hours.
