Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups dates
  • 1 1/3 cups peanuts
  • 3.5 oz white chocolate (or dark chocolate if preferred)

Optional Garnish

  • Sesame seeds
  • Dark chocolate

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Peanuts

  1. Place 1 1/3 cups of peanuts in a food processor.
  2. Grind until they become crumbly.

Step 2: Prepare the Dates

  1. Wash the dates well, remove the pits, and add them to the food processor with the ground peanuts.
  2. Grind until the mixture is well combined and forms a sticky, cohesive mass.

Step 3: Form the Mixture

  1. Transfer the mixture into a bowl.
  2. Using your hands, squeeze the mixture together to form one solid block.

Step 4: Roll and Coat

  1. Take a portion of the block and place it on a flat work surface.
  2. Roll the portion into a log shape. If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds on the surface and coat the roll.
  3. Repeat the process with the remaining mixture.
  4. Place the rolls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

Step 5: Create Wells

  1. Using the end of a wooden spoon, make a well in the middle of each roll.
  2. Set the rolls aside.

Step 6: Melt the Chocolate

  1. Place the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
  2. Set the bowl over a pot of boiling water and stir until the chocolate is melted (alternatively, you can melt the chocolate in the microwave).
  3. Repeat the process for the dark chocolate if using it for garnish.

Step 7: Fill and Decorate

  1. Once melted, let the white chocolate cool slightly and transfer it to a piping bag.
  2. Fill the wells in the rolls with white chocolate.
  3. If desired, use a separate piping bag to decorate with melted dark chocolate.

Step 8: Chill and Cut

  1. Let the filled and decorated rolls chill for about 5 minutes to set.
  2. Once set, cut the rolls into bite-sized pieces. To cut easily, heat a knife in hot water and dry it before slicing.

Serving

These date and peanut treats are best served chilled. Enjoy them as a healthy snack or a quick dessert!
