Snickers Peanut Butter Dates

• Peanuts: Chopped peanuts give these dates their Snickers flavors.
• Chocolate Chips: Semisweet chocolate chips pair perfectly well with the peanuts and create nutty and rich flavors.
• Coconut Oil: Coconut oil is used to melt the chocolate!

Peanut Butter and Jelly Stuffed Dates

• Jelly: Feel free to use any kind of jelly or preserves you would like. I used Inspired Organics raspberry, but you can use any flavor you like best!

Honey Coconut Peanut Butter Dates

• Honey: A little bit of high quality honey gives these dates additional sweetness that is so satisfying!
• Coconut Chips: Toasted coconut chips or regular coconut chips (Inspired Organics coconut chips are my FAVE of all time) taste amazing with the peanut butter and will give these dates a slightly sweet nutty flavor.

Peanut Butter Dates with Goat Cheese

• Goat Cheese: Plain goat cheese is smoothy and creamy and is the perfect addition for these dates. Goat cheese pretty much goes with anything!
• Green Onions: Freshly sliced green onions get this variation a savoriness that is fitting for whenever you are craving sweet and salty flavors all at the same time!

Elvis Stuffed Dates

• Banana Chips: Crushed Inspired Organics dried banana chips are sweet and give this classic Elvis sandwich variation its signature flavors. A little bit of crunch tastes delicious with the soft dates!
• Bacon Bits: Savory bacon bits are paired with nutty peanut butter and banana chips to create just what Elvis would have liked. Mmm!
