Just Like Snickers

Just Like Snickers

12 dates
1/4 cup peanut butter
1/3 cup chocolate

1. Prepare the dates by carefully slicing them long ways and removing the seed.
2. Fill each date with a teaspoon of peanut butter.
3. Melt the chocolate in a glass bowl placed over a pot of boiling water (or in the microwave at 10 second intervals).
4. Dip each date in the chocolate, making sure to coat them all over.
5. Place on a parchment lined plate and put in the fridge to cool.

In Tunisia, stuffed dates are very common, however they are usually filled with sesame paste or butter.  My all time favorite candy is Reese's peanut butter cups so I figured I would mash the two treats together.  They aren't the cutest things in the world (they are rather, um, bug like), but they sure do taste good!
