Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

36 salted roasted almonds, divided
2 teaspoons finely grated orange peel, divided
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
12 Medjool dates
3/4 cup bittersweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Toss 24 almonds, 1 teaspoon orange peel, honey, and spices in small bowl.
  • Cut slit in each date and remove pit. Press 2 spice-coated almonds into each slit and enclose nuts in date.
  • Line small baking sheet with foil. Melt chocolate in small microwave-safe bowl until melted, about 20 seconds, stopping once to stir. Grasp end of 1 stuffed date and dip 3/4 into melted chocolate. Shake off excess chocolate. Place date on foil. Repeat with remaining dates. Sprinkle remaining orange peel over chocolate-dipped dates. Dip 1 plain almond halfway into chocolate; place atop 1 date. Repeat with remaining almonds and dates. Chill until chocolate sets, 30 minutes.
