Ingredients
Ingredients
- 12 dates, sliced in half
- 1/2 cup peanut butter, melted
- 24 mini pretzels
- 1 cup chocolate chips, melted
- 1 tsp coconut oil (optional, to help chocolate melt smoothly)
Instructions
- Prepare Dates: Press each date half firmly into a silicone mini muffin pan or a lined mini muffin pan, creating a small cup shape to hold the fillings.
- Add Peanut Butter: Spoon approximately 1 teaspoon of melted peanut butter on top of each date half inside the muffin pan, evenly layering the creamy filling.
- Top with Pretzels and Chocolate: Place one mini pretzel on top of the peanut butter layer in each date cup, then carefully drizzle or spoon melted chocolate chips over each bite, ensuring they are well coated.
- Freeze: Place the filled muffin pan into the freezer and freeze for about 2 hours until the chocolate is set and the bites are firm.
- Store and Enjoy: Once hardened, remove the date bites from the pan and enjoy immediately, or store them wrapped in the freezer for up to 2 months or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Notes
- Use a silicone mini muffin pan for easy removal of bites once frozen.
- Coconut oil is optional but helps the chocolate melt smoothly and adds shine.
- These bites are best enjoyed chilled or frozen to maintain their texture and prevent melting.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer to preserve freshness longer.
- You can substitute peanut butter with almond or cashew butter if preferred.
