How to Make Chocolate Dipped Dates Stuffed With Spiced Nuts

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Toast the mixed nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned. Let cool completely.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the toasted nuts with cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Mix well.
  4. Gently pit the Medjool dates. Try to keep them in one piece.
  5. Fill each pitted date with about 1 teaspoon of the spiced nut mixture.
  6. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  7. Dip each stuffed date into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated.
  8. Place the chocolate-dipped dates on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  9. Sprinkle with sea salt flakes (optional).
  10. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set completely.
