Serves: 24
INGREDIENTS:
  • 24 Medjool dates
  • 24 pecans
  • ½ - 1 80-100 g bar dark chocolate
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
DIRECTIONS:
  1. Combine the maple syrup, vanilla and pecans in a small bowl, stirring to combine until the pecans are all evenly coated. Make a small cut in one side at one end of each date to remove and discard the pit. Stuff a pecan in each date, making sure to take some maple mixture with each nut, then pinch the date back together where the incision was. Place all the dates side by side on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
  2. Break up the chocolate and melt it in a double steamer. Use a spoon or spatula to drip it over the dates in diagonal lines until all used up. Place in the fridge for around 20-30 minutes to harden the chocolate back up. These will stay for a few weeks in an airtight container in the fridge or for a couple months in the freezer.
