Ingredients

8 large, soft pitted dates (I recommend Medjool dates)
4 tablespoons almond butter (see notes for options)
Optional: chopped toppings, for garnish (see notes below)

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Using the tip of a sharp knife, slit each of the dates lengthwise
Use your fingers to open out each date (creating a pocket for the almond butter).
Spoon 1.5 teaspoons of almond butter inside each date.
Gently press the sides of the filled dates together (some of the almond butter will still show). If desired, sprinkle with one of the suggested toppings (see below)
The dates can be eaten immediately, but are best if allowed to chill for at least 1 hour (this allows the almond butter to firm up).

Notes

Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. I do not recommend freezing the stuffed dates.

Optional toppings:

flaky sea salt

finely chopped chocolate

finely chopped cacao nibs

finely chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, pistachios, walnuts, pecans)

finely chopped dried fruit (e.g., dried cherries, dried cranberries or dried blueberries)
