Steps to Prepare Date Candy

Israeli Stuffed Dates

My first date with candy is a good illustration of the kind of women attracted to me.

Recipe Summary Israeli Stuffed Dates

This chocolate-covered, nut-filled date candy is straight from Israel, an idea I received from my Yemenite neighbor. It's easy and delicious!

Ingredients | Date Candy

8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped

25 pitted Medjool dates

25 pecan halves

2 tablespoons sweetened shredded coconut (Optional)

Directions

Place the chocolate in a glass or plastic bowl. Heat in the microwave for about 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, or until almost melted. Stir until smooth.

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Stuff each date with a pecan half and place onto the baking sheet. Drizzle the stuffed dates with melted chocolate, then sprinkle with coconut. Place into freezer, and freeze for 1 hour before serving.
