Notes
- Medjool dates: I usually use medjool dates when I stuff dates as they are larger and softer. But you can use dried delgate dates which are often a bit more economical.
- Peanut butter: I usually use unsweetened crunchy peanut butter. This recipe works just as well with other nut butters. Almond butter and Cashew Butter are yummy and sunbutter is a great nut-free option.
- Dark chocolate: I use dark chocolate as I like its stronger flavor combined with the sweetness of the date, but you can use milk chocolate if you prefer.
- Salt: A little salt brings all the flavors together, but could be left out if you prefer or if your peanut butter is already very salty.
- Stuff with cream cheese mixed with orange zest and sprinkle with finely chopped thyme and almonds.
- Stuff with blue cheese (gorgonzola) and a slice of fresh pear, then drizzle with honey.
- Stuff with mashed banana, sprinkle with crispy bacon bits and drizzle with a little maple syrup.
- Stuff with sharp cheddar, sprinkle with ground coffee and drizzle with honey.
