Decadent and wholesome bite-sized treats made with Medjool dates stuffed with crunchy almonds, dipped in silky dark chocolate, and finished with a white chocolate drizzle. Perfect for gifting, snacking, or festive occasions like Ramadan and Eid.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 20 Medjool dates, pitted
  • 20 whole almonds (or pistachios)
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips or chunks
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)
  • 1/4 cup white chocolate chips (for drizzle)

Instructions

  1. Carefully slice each date lengthwise without cutting all the way through, and remove the pit.
  2. Stuff each date with one whole almond and gently close it back up.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate with coconut oil in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  4. Dip each stuffed date into the melted chocolate, coating it completely. Use a fork to lift it out and let excess chocolate drip off.
  5. Place the chocolate-covered dates on a parchment-lined tray.
  6. Melt the white chocolate in a separate bowl using the same microwave method.
  7. Drizzle the white chocolate over the dates using a spoon or piping bag for decoration.
  8. Chill the tray in the fridge for 15–20 minutes until the chocolate is set.
  9. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.

Notes

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
  • You can substitute almonds with pistachios or hazelnuts for variety.
  • To make this dairy-free, use vegan chocolate chips.
  • For a flavor twist, sprinkle sea salt or crushed rose petals on top before chilling.
