Dates Peanut Butter Cup: A Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Gently open up a date and take out the pit

Step 2: Press the dates into a cupcake mold. I like lining the cupcake tray with cupcake liners. You can use your fingers to press them down, the bottom of a small cup or a spoon. I like coating my fingertips with a little bit of coconut oil to prevent sticking to the dates.

Step 3: Now it’s time for the star of the show – peanut butter! Generously scoop a tablespoon of natural, additive-free peanut butter into each cupcake mold, over the dates.

Step 4: Sprinkle a few pistachios over the peanut butter layer. These vibrant green gems not only add a delightful crunch but also bring a dose of healthy fats to the party.

Step 5: Here comes the moment of decadence – pour melted chocolate over each cup. You can choose between dark or milk chocolate, depending on your craving.

Step 6: Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle chopped pistachios on top and a dash of flaky salt.

Step 7: Place the tray of cupcakes in the fridge for a brief 30-minute chill. This allows the flavors to meld, the chocolate to set, and the anticipation to build.

So there you have it, a treat that’s simple, nutritious and delicious. The blend of natural ingredients not only satisfies your sweet tooth but also delivers a wholesome dose of nutrients. Next time you’re looking for an easy-to-make, guilt-free indulgence, give these Dates Peanut Butter Cup a try. I will warn you, it’s hard to eat just one.
