Chocolate Salted Date Bombs

Vegetarian, gluten and dairy free, nut free option

Ingredients:Makes 12 dates

• 12 medjool dates, pits removed
• ¼ cup nut butter or nut free alternative
• ¼ cup dark chocolate chips
• Salt to taste

How to Make:

1. Cut a small slit in the middle of the date from top to bottom and remove the pit *keep dates open for nut butter
2. Lat out the dates on a plate with parchment paper on top
3. Use a butter knife to add the nut butter or alternative to the centre of the date
4. Fill a small pot with water about ¼ full and place a small stainless steel bowl on top *the bowl should not touch the water
5. Put the pot on the stove on low heat, and melt the chocolate, stirring often to ensure an equal melt *careful it’s not too hot so it doesn’t burn
6. Once chocolate is melted, dip one date at a time into the melted chocolate and place back on parchment paper
7. When finished, top with a bit of salt
8. Refrigerate for 30 minutes and enjoy

Trina’s Tidbits:

This recipe is a great pre and post workout snack. Date quality is essential. Medjool dates work best because they are fresh and less “chewy”.

Most of the time you want to support your body with great food.  When you don’t eat perfect, no worries.  It’s great to shock your body every now and again with the “unhealthier” treats.  I love me some loaded nachos but I can’t eat them every day.  Neither can you.
