Pecan Chocolate Dates
Hello friends! If you like dates as much as I do, this is the recipe for you!
I’ve been snacking on these 4-ingredient chocolate dates and they are incredible.
It’s basically pitted Medjool dates filled with whole pecan + peanut butter and then covered with melted dark chocolate. I topped them up with some dried rose petals and sea salt flakes.
Super fun to prepare and comes together in literally minutes! I hope you’ll take the time to prepare them. They are so good! 🤗
Let’s go!

Ingredients
- 10 Medjool dates
- 10 teaspoons peanut butter
- 10 whole pecans
- 3/4 cup melted dark chocolate* (see notes on how to melt dark chocolate)
- Sea salt flakes
- Dried rose petals
Instructions
- Using a knife, gently pierce a Medjool date (do not cut it in half) and remove the pit.
- Fill the date with 1 teaspoon of peanut butter.
- Insert 1 whole pecan and 'close' the date.
- Dip it in chocolate and transfer it to a parchment-lined sheet. Then top it with dried rose petals (or sea salt flakes).
- Repeat the above steps for the rest of the dates.
- Let them chill for 20-30 minutes. Pecan chocolate dates are ready. Enjoy!
Notes
- Make sure you melt the chocolate using the double boiling method. To do this, fill a saucepan with 1/2 to 3/4 cup of water and bring it to a simmer. Then add the dark chocolate to a mixing bowl. Place this mixing bowl on the saucepan. Gently stir the chocolate until it's melted.
- You can also use your favorite nuts (like peanuts, almonds, walnuts, pistachios, Brazillian nuts instead of pecans).
