DATES WITH HAZELNUTS
Medjool dates are nature's candy. They have a soft, creamy, slightly chewy texture and are filled with fiber, potassium, magnesium and other minerals. A pinch of flake salt enters as a background note, adding a lingering taste that rounds out the sweetness.

Steps:
- Take a date, make a vertical cut deep enough to remove the pit, but not so deep as to cut the date in half. Discard the pit.
- Stuff each date with two hazelnuts and dip it in melted chocolate.
- Roll each to cover completely and then lift out with a fork letting the excess chocolate drip off before placing on a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Sprinkle flake salt on top of each chocolate covered date when they are almost dry. If you sprinkle the salt too early when the chocolate is too wet the salt will become slightly brown.
- Store the stuffed dates in an airtight container in the fridge, but bring them to room temperature before serving to heighten the taste of the chocolate.
- Package them up in a pretty box and you have homemade gift that's sure to be remembered.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, plump dates for the best results.
- If your dates are dry, soak them in warm water for 10-15 minutes to soften them.
- Use a sharp knife to make a slit in the dates. This will help the filling stay in place.
- If you don't have hazelnuts, you can use other nuts, such as almonds, walnuts, or pecans.
- If you don't have chocolate chips, you can use chopped dark chocolate or semisweet chocolate.
- Sprinkle the stuffed dates with sea salt for a touch of extra flavor.
- If you are making the dates ahead of time, store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
