Love dates? This simple recipe will surprise and delight you. Never had dates (and think they sound kind of old-fashioned and weird)? You’re in for a sweet, sweet treat.

Our Stuffed Medjool Dates are creamy, nutty, chewy, juicy and naturally sweet. Dates, by nature, have an almost crystallized crunch due to their high sugar content, and that natural crispness perfectly balances the creamy almond butter-yogurt filling. We also sweetened the filling with a bit of maple syrup, so it takes on a caramely flavor. Then we topped the dates with tart, juicy raspberries and bittersweet chocolate to counter the sweetness and add a bit more texture. 

The dates come together in under 20 minutes and don’t require any appliances to make, so they’re a fun project for the whole family. Enjoy them as an on-the-go breakfast, pre-workout snack or delicious dessert.
