Ingredients

  • 12
    Medjool dates
  • 6
    pretzel sticks
  • 2 Tbsp (30 mL)
    peanut butter

Optional garnish

Directions

  1. Using a sharp paring knife, make an incision along the length of each date, but try not to cut the date in half.
  2. Remove the pits from the dates.
  3. Break apart the pretzel and place the pieces inside the empty dates.
  4. Dollop the peanut butter over the pretzel.
  5. If desired, drizzle the filled dates with melted chocolate and a sprinkle of sea salt. Enjoy!

Storage

  • Store these dates at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
  • Note that if not enjoyed the same day, the pretzels will likely lose their crunch.

I like it but I prefer the superseed date. It has a bit extra to it. This was really sweet for me

It was gooey but I liked it lots. I think it would be good if it was a restaurant dessert.

A go-to snack…I just don’t tell my husband they’re vegan!

You might want to engage in a conversation with your husband about their consumption of animal products and its potential connection to adhering to constraining masculinity stereotypes.

Bought a 5kg carton of dates online and was surprised how much I got, so I‘ve been eating this a bunch: I keep a jar of cashew nut butter, a little jar of dates, and a spoon on my desk for whenever I feel hungry, it‘s amazing 😍

Always a crowd pleaser! If I put it out at a gathering, the plate clears pretty quickly! Everyone, especially, loves the surprise of the crunch from the pretzel.

This is by far the most nutrient dense, easy to understand recipes and by far tastiest vegan food I've ever followed. What a huge resource to all the world. I not only need this for my goals but my medical needs.

Love this snack and takes only 1 min to make. I skip the pretzel stick and just stuff the date with peanut butter and sprinkle some hemp seeds on top. This is a great afternoon pick me up.

These remind me of my favorite cookie:chocolate chip with caramel bits and pretzels. Bonus is I can make these in the Texas summer without turning on an oven. I went for a generous chocolate drizzle :)

Made these today😊 I didn't have pretzels so I subbed it with some toasted pine nuts which was.. Interesting?😂I think if I were to go with nuts - toasted walnuts would've probably been better 😂😂
The dates + almond butter combo was delicious😍. I mixed some table salt with the almond butter so the seasoning is evenly spread out. Will definitely make again !

Made these with the superseed nut butter for crunch instead of pretzels. Highly recommended. Also I really like the new website.
