Dark Chocolate Turtles
Ingredients
- 1 cup Medjool dates pitted, soaked, drained
- 1/4 cup pecans
- 3 1/2 oz dark chocolate organic
Instructions
- Finely chop the dates or blend in a food processor until sticky.
- With damp hands, roll the dates into small even balls. Press the balls onto a pan lined with parchment paper, and top with pecans, pressing down slightly so that they stick. Freeze for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, microwave the chocolate at 50% power for 30 seconds at a time until melted.
- Using a fork, suspend the frozen dates into the chocolate until fully covered. Remove and let the excess chocolate drip off. Return to the parchment-lined pan and repeat until each date ball is coated with the chocolate.
- Return to freezer for 10 more minutes to set. Transfer to the fridge until ready to enjoy.
Notes
Pecan substitute: use hazelnuts, almonds, cashews or pumpkin seeds instead.
If you don't have dates, use a combination of prunes, dried apricots or raisins instead.
Refrigerate or freeze in an airtight container until ready to serve.
Instead of a microwave you can melt the chocolate in a double boiler instead.
One serving is equal to one dark chocolate turtle.
