This dessert is the perfect no-effort snack when you crave something sweet. The flavours speak for themselves, the sweetness of the dates is well balanced with the unsweetened peanut butter. Just perfect! These dates are so simple to make and only require three ingredients. This lush and healthy snack is also vegan and gluten free!

WHAT YOU’LL NEED
This recipe calls for the following ingredients:
Dates: I like using Medjool dates as they are sweet and larger than other types, hence they’re perfect for this recipe.
Peanut Butter: I used smooth peanut butter; get the crunchy one, if you prefer.
Chocolate: vegan chocolate was used here; use milk Belgian chocolate if you prefer.
TIPS
*You can eat these dates as they are or add toppings of your choice. You might want to sprinkle them cinnamon, coconut, drizzled chocolate, cacao powder, crushed nuts or sesame seeds.
*Stuff these dates with any nut butter or tahini for nut free option.
*Cut a slit into the centre of each date lengthwise and carefully remove the pit. Be careful to keep one side of the date intact, you want to add a slit rather than splitting the date in half.
