Description

Ingredients

• 200 g dark chocolate (no milk ingredients to keep vegan), finely chopped
• 1 box Organic Natural Delights Medjool dates (1 lb or 454 g)
• 1 cup whole natural pecans

Directions

• Pit the dates by using a sharp knife to cut lengthwise. Pull open and flatten (kind of looks like a butterfly), removing pits and laying them out, sticky side up.
• Stick three pecans per date, arranging them like the head and feet of a turtle.
• Chop your dark chocolate into as small bits as possible, and melt in a heat-safe bowl on top of a pot over medium heat (or a double boiler if you have one), stirring constantly until mostly melted.
• Remove from heat and stir in the last few chunks of chocolate (this is my method of lazy tempering)
• Drizzle about 1 tsp of chocolate per cluster, to seal the inside of the dates (so they dont dry out) and securing the pecans. Let them set in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes, and enjoy!
• Keep stored in fridge in an airtight container.
