Dark Chocolate Sunflower Seed Butter Stuffed Dates
Chelsea Colbath
A quick, easy, healthy homemade salty-sweet treat made with medjool dates, chocolate, and sunflower seed butter!
- 12 large Medjool dates
- 1/2 cup maple cinnamon sunflower seed butter or your favorite nut/seed butter
- 1/2 cup roughly chopped dark chocolate
- 1 teaspoon virgin coconut oil
- Flaky sea salt to top
Cut each date open and remove the pits. Set the dates on a large plate (line the plate with parchment paper for easier clean-up!).
Use a small spoon to stuff as much sunflower seed butter inside the dates as possible, to fill each one up. You may not need the entire 1/2 cup of seed butter, depending on the size of your dates.
Place the chocolate and oil into a microwave safe dish and heat in 30 second increments, stirring inbetween, until fully melted.
Dip each stuffed date into the chocolate, turning to fully coat. Then, us a fork to lift each date out of the chocolate and transfer to your plate. Top each with a pinch of flaky sea salt.
Place the plate into the fridge or freezer for 3-5 minutes to let the chocolate firm up, then eat immediately or transfer to a container and store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks before serving.
