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

easy peasy and a great recipe to play with. I toasted the coconut replaced the pecans with almonds and toasted some sesame seeds and also tucked a few of those inside with the almond. Used a few different kinds of chocolate(semi-sweet german unsweetened) mixed together. Tip for a nice sheen-add a tbsp. of shortening (not butter) to the chocolate while melting. Tip #2-toast the nuts for a depth of floavor and to avoid bitterness. Just toss them around in a hot dry pan on stovetop until toasted. I'm still a double-boiler gal. these tasted absolutely delish present so well easy to make and have an incredible taste. the nut(and the sesame) gave it a sweet/salty mix. Loved it. thanks so much.

Chocolate and dates are a surprisingly good combination. These are so super easy to make too. I just made enough for a small plate to try the recipe. I prefer walnuts so I used walnut halves instead of pecans. For the chocolate I used milk chocolate chips. I also didn't add the optional coconut and they were fine. This is quite a healthy way to satisfy a sweet tooth. The chocolate can really be added just to taste too. Interesting ty. Read More

It just doesn't get any better than this! I love dates and dark chocolate and nuts and coconut and all together the combination is perfect. I stuffed some of the dates with pecans and others with walnuts and used unsweetened coconut because I like it better. I kept mine in the fridge and it worked well. Delicious sweet and chewy wonderfulness. Great recipe Bina! Read More
