Chocolate-dipped peanut butter stuffed dates take just four ingredients and about fifteen minutes to make. If you’re looking for a special treat but don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen, you’ve landed on the right recipe!

Dates grow on date palms, a flowering palm tree found in arid climates like the Middle East, Northern Africa, India, and California. They are naturally sweet and have a deep caramel flavor that mimics candy.
Dates are widely available. You’ve probably noticed Medjool dates in the produce department around the holidays. They make a great gift or stocking stuffer. They can also be used to naturally sweeten smoothies or make no-bake crusts. Next time you see them, grab extra! You’ll have plenty of uses for them, especially as the holiday season nears.
Chocolate-dipped peanut butter stuffed dates are a creative addition to holiday cookie and candy exchanges. They make a great homemade gift for neighbors and coworkers. Set them on the holiday dessert table and watch these bite-sized delights be the first thing to get gobbled up.
This recipe is perfect for the holidays but you’ll find yourself craving it all year long! That’s because the mixture of dates, peanut butter, peanuts, and chocolate tastes just like a candy bar. Yet, you don’t have to be an experienced candymaker to whip them up.
If you are working around a nut allergy, there are easy substitutions you can make. Instead of peanut butter, try sun butter. Instead of dipping the dates in nuts, try chopped banana chips. Even if you don’t have an allergy, you may want to give this variation a try because it is delicious in its own right!
If you'd like to cover the entire date with chocolate, use 1 cup of chocolate chips instead of 1/2 cup and dip the entire date. Use a toothpick to hold the date while dipping it into the chocolate. Prep Time 15 minutes Servings Prep Time 15 minutes Servings
