Why this recipe works

  • Medjool dates, not Deglet Noor. Medjools are soft, fat, and caramel-like — they are the whole reason this tastes like candy.
  • Slice and pit carefully to keep the date in one piece. You want a pocket for the almond butter, not two halves.
  • The 10-minute chill sets the chocolate into a snappy shell. Skip it and the chocolate stays melty on your fingers.
