Method

Slit the dates, remove the stones and fill each with half the peanut butter, pressing it in with a teaspoon.
Melt the two squares of chocolate in a small bowl in the microwave, ten seconds at a time, stirring between each.
Dip the top of each date in the chocolate, or spoon it over, set them on baking paper with a flake of salt each, and freeze for fifteen minutes until the chocolate is hard.

Worth knowing

Between the dates, the peanut butter and the chocolate, this is the densest of the stuffed dates on the site. Three of them would be a meal's worth of sugar.
Straight from the freezer the date is chewy and the chocolate snaps. Left out for ten minutes it is softer and, some would say, better.
