Savor the delectable fusion of sweet and savory with my Chocolate Pistachio Medjool Dates, a delightful treat brimming with flavor and nutrition. Each succulent Medjool date is stuffed with a brazil nut (can be substitute with almonds or walnuts) and covered with creamy dark chocolate and dipped into pistachios, creating a harmonious balance of textures and tastes. Not only do these dates offer a tantalizing indulgence, but they also pack a nutritious punch. Pistachios, renowned for their heart-healthy fats and ample fiber, contribute to satiety and promote digestive health. Meanwhile, Brazil nuts, rich in selenium, provide essential antioxidants that support immune function and combat oxidative stress. Together, these ingredients make for a perfect, satisfying snack that nourishes both body and soul.

Ingredients
Method
Cut a slit in the top of each date and gently remove the pit. Discard pits.
Fill each date with one brazil nut and lightly close the date.
Melt the dark chocolate in the microwave (do not overheat as it can burn easily) or on the stove top. Dip each date in the melted chocolate until covered and then dip into the ground pistachios.
Transfer the dates to a sheet pan covered with parchment paper. Place the dates in the fridge to allow the chocolate to set, about 30 minutes, or let harden at room temperature.
