This past Tuesday was Valentine’s Day, and Liz from Octofree came up with an easy top-8-free Valentine’s Day treat to snack on during the day, bring along to a restaurant (where safe sweets are usually limited to sorbet), or give as a sweet gift.
Her original thought was to create top-8-free truffles, but when she realized how time-consuming that can be, she decided to come up with a quicker option.
For these Dark Chocolate-Covered, Sunbutter-Stuffed Dates, you only need a couple of ingredients, and topped with festive sprinkles or flaky sea salt, they’re cute as can be. Enjoy!
