Servings: 12 medjool dates

Ingredients

  • 10-12 medjool dates
  • 3 heaped tablespoons of cashew butter make sure the cashew butter is 100% cashews with no added oils to keep this as healthy as possible
  • Handful of crushed hazelnuts I roasted the hazelnuts at home, allowed it to cool down before using. You can buy roasted hazelnuts if you wish.
  • 100 grams chocolate I used 46%
  • 1 tsp coconut oil

Instructions

  • Remove the pits from the dates and arrange them on a tray lined with non-stick baking paper. Use the bottom of a cup to flatten the dates. To prevent sticking, place a small piece of non-stick baking paper between the cup and the dates. (I used a small tray that fits about 10-12 dates.)
  • Spread a layer of smooth cashew butter evenly over the flattened dates.
  • Crush your roasted hazelnuts and sprinkle them generously on top. Feel free to add as much as you like!
  • In a small saucepan over low heat, melt your chocolate with a little coconut oil, stirring constantly to keep it smooth. Be sure to watch it closely to avoid burning.
  • Once the chocolate is melted, pour it over the hazelnuts and spread it evenly to cover the entire tray.
