Recipe Sunday – Snickers Stuffed Dates

/ thevegancatlibrarian

Happy Sunday and a good Bank Holiday Weekend to you! How are you? How are you enjoying this weekend? Yesterday, there was an arts and crafts market where I live, they have been very lucky with the weather as we’ve been having loads of rainy days, but yesterday it was sunny the whole time. It has been lovely seeing so many people attending the market as a lot of work goes not only into organising it but also from the artists as they were showing some beautiful works! Something similar came last year too and I recognised one of the stalls as I bought a pair of earrings from her: she makes this beautiful hand-painted stuff and I liked the earrings so much that I also bought an extra pair from her website – and she recognised me when I told her my name because I was her first online order! It was very sweet, I could have cried there. Also met a friend by chance and we went to see some of the stalls together. It was a very enjoyable afternoon while today I am taking it very easy, just chilling out and watching Rebel Moon.

Anyway, this is the second-to-last day of Limpia (past, here I come!) and I wanted to share a very easy, quite Limpia-friendly recipe that I am sure you will enjoy too! Dates are one of those satisfying sweet snacks for when you can’t eat a cupcake so these Snickers Stuffed Dates by ChoosingChia have been a must for these 50 days.

Snickers Stuffed Dates by ChoosingChia

Ingredients

  • 10 medjool dates
  • 2–3 tbsp peanut butter
  • 2–3 tbsp crushed peanuts
  • 150g melted dark chocolate
  • Sea salt to top (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make a cut in each date with a knife and remove and discard the pits.
  2. Add a small spoonful of peanut butter to the center of each date, being careful not to overfill the dates.
  3. Add a sprinkle of crushed peanuts and use your hands to gently press the dates to close them slightly.
  4. Use a toothpick to pick up each date and dip into a bowl of melted dark chocolate, then place onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and sprinkle with additional crushed peanuts and sea salt.
  5. Place in the fridge or freezer for 30 minutes to set.

For a 120% Limpia-friendly recipe you can omit the chocolate, but you can also use the 85-90% dark chocolate without feeling guilty.

Enjoy!

Love,
