- Prepare the Dates
Rinse the dates, then carefully slice them on one side to remove the pit. Be gentle so you don’t cut the date in half, making it easier to fill. - Stuff the Dates with Nuts
Put one or two almonds or cashews inside the date. Keep the date intact so the nuts stay neatly inside. - Melt the Chocolate
Melt the chocolate in a double boiler. Break the chocolate into chunks and place them in a heat-safe bowl. Fill a saucepan with water, place the bowl on top, and stir until the chocolate melts completely. Add margarine for a smoother, glossier finish. - Dip the Dates in Chocolate
Use a fork or skewer to dip each stuffed date into the melted chocolate. Make sure they’re fully coated for maximum yumminess. - Add Your Favorite Toppings
Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle on your preferred toppings—like sprinkles, chopped nuts, or shredded cheese—to elevate the flavor and texture. - Allow the Chocolate to Set
Transfer the dipped dates onto parchment paper or a non-stick surface. Let them rest at room temperature, or pop them in the fridge for 15-30 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
