S'more dates
- Desserts
Description
The oven method is my preferred method. The stove top method (found on the blog post) keeps the marshmallows nice and soft, while the oven method makes them crunchy, like a dried marshmallow (my favorite).
I know, when you hear dates, you kind of turn up your nose, and I get it. I did too. This recipe brings out the dates’, sweetness and the gooey texture that makes them the perfect post-dinner treat.
Ingredients
1 bag dates (pitted or non-pitted)
1 package of marshmallows (I like Dandies brand)
4-5 sheets of graham crackers
1 cup chocolate chips
Flakey salt optional
Instructions
- Throw your package of dates in the freezer for about a half hour. This makes them easier to handle and less of a sticky mess.
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Once dates are frozen, cut each date open and line it on a baking sheet. If they have pits, discard the pits.
- Add marshmallows to each date. I find 2-3 on each date works well depending on the size of the date.
- Place baking sheet with dates into the oven for 5 minutes or until marshmallows are melted. I like to bake it until the marshmallows are golden brown.
- Crush graham crackers in a bag and set aside.
- Once marshmallows are melted, remove from the oven and place 2-3 chocolate chips onto the marshmallows.
- Place back into the oven for 3-4 minutes or until the chocolate is melted.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle graham crackers and flakey salt (optional) onto the dates.
- Place sheet pan in the freezer for 30 min.
- Remove and enjoy! Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
Tip: If you make a large batch, throw them in the freezer and take out a few handfuls to keep in the fridge each week. Enjoy!
