Ingredients

  • 6
    pretzel sticks
  • 2 Tbsp (30 mL)
    peanut butter

Optional garnish

Directions

  1. Using a sharp paring knife, make an incision along the length of each date, but try not to cut the date in half.
  2. Remove the pits from the dates.
  3. Break apart the pretzel and place the pieces inside the empty dates.
  4. Dollop the peanut butter over the pretzel.
  5. If desired, drizzle the filled dates with melted chocolate and a sprinkle of sea salt. Enjoy!

Storage

  • Store these dates at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
  • Note that if not enjoyed the same day, the pretzels will likely lose their crunch.

Thank you so much for this recipe! As someone who doesnโ€™t really like dates, Iโ€™ve found that this is a perfect way to incorporate them into my diet. I used unsweetened peanut butter as I already find dates to be very sweet. Overall a fantastic afternoon snack at work!

So glad that you're enjoying the stuffed date recipe, Bina, thank you!


Joanna - March 19, 2024, 1:35 a.m.

I like it but I prefer the superseed date. It has a bit extra to it. This was really sweet for me


Kate - March 11, 2024, 12:25 a.m.

Super addictive! Great for a quick snack or a small dessert


Georgiana - Feb. 2, 2024, 8:45 p.m.

So, so, so gooood! ๐Ÿค


EarlGrey - Oct. 20, 2023, 2:59 p.m.

Also works with crackers if the pretzels are not available.


ais - Oct. 5, 2023, 11:16 p.m.

If there was ground cinnamon in it it would be good


ais - Oct. 5, 2023, 11:13 p.m.

I think it is the best dessert ever you can make really good desserts


ais - Aug. 17, 2023, 10:49 p.m.

It was gooey but I liked it lots. I think it would be good if it was a restaurant dessert.


Karen mesko - July 27, 2023, 9:22 p.m.

A go-to snackโ€ฆI just donโ€™t tell my husband theyโ€™re vegan!

Christian - Aug. 26, 2023, 6:02 p.m.

You might want to engage in a conversation with your husband about their consumption of animal products and its potential connection to adhering to constraining masculinity stereotypes.

Bought a 5kg carton of dates online and was surprised how much I got, so Iโ€˜ve been eating this a bunch: I keep a jar of cashew nut butter, a little jar of dates, and a spoon on my desk for whenever I feel hungry, itโ€˜s amazing ๐Ÿ˜

Mmm sounds lovely, Emilia, so glad the recipe is being enjoyed!


Elyse - Jan. 19, 2023, 5:19 p.m.

Always a crowd pleaser! If I put it out at a gathering, the plate clears pretty quickly! Everyone, especially, loves the surprise of the crunch from the pretzel.

So excited to hear, Elyse - thank you!


Kristi Wetherington - Dec. 8, 2022, 2:56 a.m.

This is by far the most nutrient dense, easy to understand recipes and by far tastiest vegan food I've ever followed. What a huge resource to all the world. I not only need this for my goals but my medical needs.

Thank you for the glowing review, Kristi, it means so much!

My absolute favourite snack now


Jigya - May 26, 2022, 1:29 a.m.

Love this snack and takes only 1 min to make. I skip the pretzel stick and just stuff the date with peanut butter and sprinkle some hemp seeds on top. This is a great afternoon pick me up.

Awe we're so happy to hear, Jigya, thank you!

Amy - Sept. 12, 2021, 2:48 a.m.

These remind me of my favorite cookie:chocolate chip with caramel bits and pretzels. Bonus is I can make these in the Texas summer without turning on an oven. I went for a generous chocolate drizzle :)

I love this snack! Honestly, it gives candy bars a run for their money. My toddler son adores it too.


Brianne Weakley - Aug. 15, 2021, 9:24 p.m.

I really wanted to take the time to thank you making vegan-ism and creative cooking super simple, easy, and fun for me. Stumbled upon your videos awhile ago and safe to say that all the information on youtube as well as your website is phenomenal. I am truly blown away and so thankful for you and pick up limes!

Susan - July 26, 2021, 12:32 a.m.

So simple but so delicious! The rare moment I actually had all the ingredients on hand. I will definitely be making this for friends.

So kind of you to make them for friends, Susan! Glad the recipe was enjoyed โ˜บ๏ธ


Dee - July 25, 2021, 11:41 a.m.

Made these today๐Ÿ˜Š I didn't have pretzels so I subbed it with some toasted pine nuts which was.. Interesting?๐Ÿ˜‚I think if I were to go with nuts - toasted walnuts would've probably been better ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
The dates + almond butter combo was delicious๐Ÿ˜. I mixed some table salt with the almond butter so the seasoning is evenly spread out. Will definitely make again !

Thank you for sharing, Dee! Do let us know if you give the recipe a try with pretzel sticks ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Tried this today, an absolute winner!


Natasha - July 24, 2021, 6:34 p.m.

Made these with the superseed nut butter for crunch instead of pretzels. Highly recommended. Also I really like the new website.

So glad you enjoyed the recipe, Natasha! We appreciate the kind words so much ๐Ÿฅฐ
