Ingredients

  • 12 Natural Delights® Medjool dates, pitted
  • 1/2 cup 70% dark chocolate, melted
  • 5 tablespoons tahini (approximately 1/2 - 1 teaspoon per date)
  • 1/4 cup bright green pistachios, chopped

Preparation

Open the Medjool date lengthwise and fill each date with 1/2 to 1 teaspoon tahini. Close each date and place in the freezer for about an hour.

Melt the chocolate in a double boiler on the lowest setting. When the chocolate has almost completely melted, remove from heat and gently stir.

Remove dates from freezer. Using a slotted spoon or dipping tools, dip the dates one at a time in the melted chocolate and place on parchment paper. Before the chocolate sets, top with bright green pistachios and a pinch of flake salt.
