Instructions
- Gather all your tools/ingredients first. Yes first;)... saves so much time.
- Cut a slit into each date.
- Using a teaspoon, stuff dates with peanut butter, about 1/2 to 1/3 teaspoon each.
- In a small bowl, melt chocolate chips and butter until silky smooth. Do this in 30 second increments to avoid burning chocolate.
- Dip and roll dates in the melted chocolate and place on cookie sheet.
- For Easter, sprinkle a few Sprinkles on each for color. Crushed nuts or coconut would be delicious as well. Place in refrigerator to set chocolate.
