Stuffed Medjool Dates

Our Stuffed Medjool Dates are creamy, nutty, chewy, juicy and naturally sweet and ready in 20 minutes or less. Dates, by nature, have an almost crystallized crunch due to their high sugar content, and that natural crispness perfectly balances the creamy almond butter-yogurt filling. We also sweetened the filling with a bit of maple syrup, so it takes on a caramely flavor. Then we topped the dates with tart, juicy raspberries and bittersweet chocolate to counter the sweetness and add a bit more texture.
