I’ve been loving these chocolate peanut butter stuffed dates lately — they’re quick to assemble and make a perfect healthy treat when you want something sweet. This recipe is vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free and free of refined sugar.

You’ll need pitted Medjool dates, creamy or crunchy peanut butter, and semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips.

Start by making a small slit along one side of each date, taking care not to cut through the other side. Use a butter knife to fill the cavity with peanut butter. Arrange the stuffed dates on a tray and place them in the freezer while you melt the chocolate.

Melt the chocolate gently. I use a Thermomix® set to a low temperature so the chocolate doesn’t burn, but you can also melt it carefully in a microwave or over a double boiler. If you like, stir in a teaspoon of peanut butter with the melted chocolate for an extra-smooth coating.

Dip each chilled date into the melted chocolate and use two forks to lift and shake off any excess. Set the coated dates on parchment paper and transfer them to the refrigerator to firm up for about 10 minutes. Once set, they’re ready to enjoy.
