Begin by washing your dates thoroughly and dry them off with a paper towel

Cut a small slit in the centre and remove the stone from the date. Repeat until you have pitted all the dates.

Place 1 teaspoon of smooth peanut butter into each date and close gently. Set the dates onto a tray lined with parchment paper.

In a glass melt the dark chocolate in the microwave in 30 second intervals, allow the chocolate to stand for 10 seconds in the microwave before removing and stirring, repeat two more times and your chocolate will be the perfect dipping consistency.

Dip each date using a fork into the dark chocolate. Coat well and then remove the date from the dark chocolate. Tap off the excess on the side of the glass and set the chocolate coated date onto the parchment paper. Repeat with all the dates.

Place the dates into the fridge to set for 15 minutes.

Once set, remove from the fridge and enjoy!
