These Healthy Chocolate Turtles are a fun, no-bake treat made with just four wholesome ingredients nut butter, pecans, chocolate, and dates or similar for a perfectly crunchy-sweet snack that’s surprisingly simple to whip up.
Take one date, take out the pit, open it up and lay it flat onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper,
Add a teaspoon of any nut or seed butter and place one pecan on each corner.
Add another teaspoon of nut/seed butter on top and repeat for each one.
Freeze for about 15-20 minutes or until the dates and nut butter have solidified.
Right before you take them out of the freezer, melt the chocolate in the microwave or over a double boiler. I like to cut mine into chunks and melt it over a double boiler.
Take the dates out and dip each one in melted chocolate placing them back onto the baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze again for 5-10 minutes, take out and sprinkle sea salt on top.
NOTE: Before you sprinkle them with sea salt you can add a drizzle of chocolate on top for presentation to make the chocolate design that you see in my post and freeze for a third time just for 5 minutes.
These treats can remain refrigerated for weeks! Enjoy.
