Satisfy your sweet cravings with this healthy snack of chocolate and peanut butter dates.
These little mouthfuls really hit the spot when you’re craving something sweet.
Dates contain fibre, minerals and some antioxidants, so even though they contain a fairly high amount of fruit sugar enjoying one or two of these every now and then is fine.
You can substitute the nut butter for a nut, something like a hazelnut or almond would work well.
The little bit of protein and the fibre in this recipe helps to stop your blood sugar from spiking too high, making them a sweet treat that is actually good for you.
All you need is:
Medjool dates
Nut butter of your choice
Dark chocolate 85%+
Flaky sea salt.
Method:
De-stone your Medjool dates. Put a tiny dollop of nut butter in the middle and roll them in the melted dark chocolate. Sprinkle with flaky salt and refrigerate until the chocolate has hardened.
Don’t make the rookie mistake that I did, use parchment paper under your chocolate dates so they don’t stick to the plate (you can always lick the plate either I suppose)!
