over on the old tickety toks people are making stuffed dates, date bark, and i'm over here trying to curb my sweet tooth and eat better so I gave the stuffed dates a try.
First i made the traditional ones - smear the dates with almond butter and dip into melted chocolate.
I was trying to be frugal with the amount of chocolate I used, so I ended up with a thick drizzle and a sprinkle of some old flaky salt from the cupboard, but oh man were they good.
Neither kid would try them and The Mister politely had one, but I nibbled through them somewhat slowly. Self control!
One afternoon everyone else was napping/gaming/out and I wanted a snack so badly. I had 4 dates left and needed something sweet so I made myself 4 almond butter dates, but instead of going through the hassle of melting chocolate and cleaning it up, I stuck a bit of dark chocolate bark into each one and gobbled them down right quick.
