Ingredients
- 20 Medjool dates
- 12 ounces dark chocolate, cut in small pieces
Instructions
- Cut a small slit down the side of each date to remove the pit. Press the sides together to close it back up ~ the date is sticky and will seal itself.
- Melt and temper the chocolate: put the chocolate pieces into a medium microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high for 30 seconds. Remove the bowl and stir to re-arrange the chocolate. Microwave for another 30 seconds. Stir again. Microwave for 15 seconds, stir, then 10 seconds. Stir again. Check the temperature of the chocolate with an instant read thermometer ~ you don't want it to go much higher than 90F. If I see mine is too hot, I stir in a few more bits of unmelted chocolate to cool it down slightly. Note: toward the end you can let the heat of the bowl melt the final bits of chocolate, just keep stirring gently.
- Using a fork or chocolate dipping tool, dip each date into the chocolate to coat completely, then lift and allow excess chocolate to drip away before placing the date on parchment or waxed paper to set up.
- If you like you can garnish the top with an extra drizzle of chocolate, or a sprinkle of sea salt.
- Allow the chocolate to harden at room temperature, then store them at room temperature for up to a week.
