If you LOVE a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup you have to try these. So delicious.
Equipment
- 1 freezer
- 1 cook top or microwave
Ingredients
- 24 pitted medjool dates
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1/2 bag chocolate chips (milk, semisweet or dark all work)
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 1/4 cup crushed peanuts
Instructions
- Lay your dates out on a cookie sheet covered in parchment paper, cut a slit down the middle and lay them open
- In a small bowl mix the peanut butter and protein powder until well combined, add a little water if your peanut butter isn't oily enought
- Using a teaspoon, stuff each date with the peanut butter mixture and pinch closed
- Put in freezer for 10 min
- While the dates/peanut butter are freezing bring a pot of water to boil
- Dump the 1/2 bag of chocolate chips in a glass pyrex bowl with the tablespoon of coconut oil and stir to melt
- Once the chocolate has melted bring the dates out of freezer and dip each one into the chocolate - you can only do the tops or dip the whole thing
- Sprinkle crushed peanuts on tops or sea salt
- Put the tray back in the freezer for an additional 10 min
- Eat and enjoy!
Notes
I keep them in a ziplock bag or tupperware in the fridge. In the freezer they will keep for two months but honestly they won't last that long.
