Common questions

Can I use a different filling?

Absolutely! I could recommend stuffing these with peanuts & peanut butter to give it a snickers vibe, or perhaps try using hazelnut butter for a little praline moment.

‍

I used an all-natural almond butter from De Notenshop, but you can definitely use your own favourite nut butter. Why not even go crazy and stuff these with Nutella and hazelnuts. But in the end… this is my ultimate favourite combination.

‍

‍

What do I top the dates with? 

You can top these with whatever your heart desires. Chopped nuts, shredded coconut, pistachios, freeze-dried raspberries, white chocolate or my personal favourite, sea salt. The salt just balances out the sweetness and gives it that perfect sweet & salty mix.

How do I store these chocolate covered dates?

You can store these dates in an airtight container, in the fridge for up to 10 days. If they even last that long…

Enjoy loves!
