Healthy “Snickers” Dates
The next recipe in the Plant-Based Meal Prep series is these “Snickers” Dates. They are nut butter stuffed dates, coated in chocolate. No better treat in my opinion. Part of my meal prep routine includes a healthy dessert because a sweet treat is always a part of my day. I would rather have something on the healthier side, all ready to go instead of choosing a less healthy option because of my cravings. Excited for you to try these!!
Ingredients:
1 cup chopped chocolate
1 tbsp coconut oil
16 oz fresh dates
1/3 cup nut butter of choice, I used freshly ground peanut butter
flaky sea salt
Directions:
Melt the chocolate either in the microwave in 20-second increments, or on the stove until smooth
Cut each date in half to remove the pit
Place about a teaspoon of nut butter in each date and pinch it close
With two forks, coat each date in the chocolate and let the excess drip off
Place the coated dates on a plate and sprinkle with sea salt
Place the dates in the freezer for 15-20 minutes and then transfer to a sealed container
Enjoy throughout the week (if they last that long)!!
