Happy Thursday guys! Recipe of the day is Milk Chocolate Medjool Dates with Sea Salt – simple but indulgent bite-sized treats.
What you need:
- Medjool dates
- molk chocolate
- sea salt
Medjool dates, as most of you probably know, are delicious on their own. But what happens when you add a bit of chocolate? What about some sea salt? I don’t know about you, but I’m crazy about chocolate with sea salt and everything that is sweet and salty.
You can opt for other kind of dates but I do recommend, if you can, use Medjool dates and you’ll see the difference. 🙂
Before dipping the dates into the chocolate mixture, make sure to remove the stones. Dark chocolate would work wonders here, but I’ve got another recipe for that, which is coming soon on the blog.
To tell you a bit of behind the scenes, I actually used my kids’ chocolate leftovers from Easter. It was quite a lot so I had to either use it or waste it, which I hate.
Here’s how to prepare these chewy Milk Chocolate Medjool Dates with Sea Salt
Ingredients:
- 25 Medjool dates, pitted (this is the amount I used but you can use less or more and adjust the rest of the ingredients)
- 120g milk chocolate, melted
- 2tsp sea salt
Preparation:
- Dip the Medjool dates halfway into the melted chocolate and arrange on a tray, covered with baking parchment. Once you’ve done all of them, season generously with sea salt and refrigerate for a couple of hours.
Enjoy!
You can easily store them in an a glass container in the fridge for 4-5 days but to be honest, my batch didn’t last that long. I think they were gone in a couple of days.
Apart for the grown ups, these bite-sized delights are just perfect for kids. Covered in chocolate, chewy and caramelly, my kids loved them. And there are so many versions to try. As I mentioned, I’ve got a Medjool date recipe with intense dark chocolate that is divine! There are a few other ingredients but that’s a secret for now. 🙂
Also, the picnic & BBQ season is here – make them for your picnic day or as a sweet treat for your BBQ. I guarantee your friends and family will love them.
I hope you guys love this recipe as much as we did. Stay tuned for more quick, easy and tasty seasonal recipes coming soon. Meanwhile, have a tasty Thursday and enjoy the Spring sun. x
