Description
Twenty-four walnut-stuffed Medjool dates half-dipped in dark chocolate.
Ingredients
Scale
- 24 dates Medjool dates
- 24 halves Walnut halves
- 8 ounces Dark chocolate baking bar, chopped
- 1/8 teaspoon Flaky salt
Instructions
- Split twenty-four Medjool dates lengthwise just enough to remove pits, leaving each date hinged. Check every one for pit fragments. Place one walnut half inside each and press gently closed.
- Melt 8 oz chopped dark chocolate in short microwave bursts at medium power, stirring well after each, until smooth. Keep the bowl and dates dry.
- Dip one end of each stuffed date halfway in chocolate and place on a parchment-lined tray. Sprinkle the measured 1/8 tsp flaky salt lightly over the dipped ends across the batch.
- Let chocolate set approximately thirty minutes in a cool dry place, then count and inspect all twenty-four. Record actual coverage, date size, nut fit and set before defining packaging or storage.
