These peanut butter stuffed dates are delicious snacks that would make a perfect post-gym treat as they are packed with natural sugars, protein and dark chocolate. The contrast of sweet dates, bitter chocolate and lightly salted peanut butter makes this a perfect snack.
The great thing about this healthy snack recipe is that you can change the ingredients to use whatever you want – replace the crunchy peanut butter with any nut butter of your choice – or even something like goat cheese . Dip it in the chocolate but leave it out if you prefer and top with whatever you fancy!

- Stage 1Using a sharp knife, cut the side of the dates to open them and remove the pits. Fill each date with a teaspoon of crunchy peanut butter and close the date.

Dip the uncut side of the dates into the chocolate and place them, cut side down, on the tray. Repeat with remaining filled dates. Spread over the chopped peanuts then transfer to the refrigerator to firm up, at least 30 minutes.
