Satisfy your sweet tooth with these decadent Almond Joy Stuffed Dates! Inspired by the classic candy bar, this healthier treat combines the nutty crunch of roasted almonds, the tropical sweetness of shredded coconut, and the rich creaminess of melted chocolate—all nestled inside soft, naturally sweet dates.
Makes: 12 dates
Ingredients:
- ¼ cup plain, unsalted roasted almonds
- ¼ cup shredded coconut
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- ¼ cup chocolate chips
- 12 dates, pitted
Instructions:
- In a blender or food processor, pulse the almonds, coconut, & maple syrup until a thick paste forms.
- Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat them in the microwave for 30 seconds initially, then 15 seconds at a time, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted. Be careful not to burn the chocolate.
- With a small spoon, stuff each of the dates full with the almond & coconut paste. Either drizzle the melted chocolate over the stuffed dates, or spread some of the melted chocolate over the top of the dates.
- Carefully place the finished dates in the fridge until the chocolate is set. These dates should be stored in the fridge as well. Once set, enjoy!
