Ferrero Rocher Stuffed Dates
These Ferrero Rocher Stuffed Dates are a healthy twist on the classic candy! Juicy medjool dates are stuffed with chocolate hazelnut butter, a whole hazelnut, and coated in crunchy chocolate. A vegan, gluten-free, no-bake treat!
Ingredients
- 6 medjool dates
- 6 tablespoons chocolate hazelnut butter
- 6 hazelnuts
- ½ cup vegan chocolate chips
- ¼ cup crushed hazelnuts
Instructions
- Prepare the dates: If your dates still have the pit, slice each one lengthwise (being careful not to slice all the way through) and remove the pit.
- Stuff the dates: Add a tablespoon of chocolate hazelnut butter into the center of each date. Then, press a whole hazelnut into the filling. Once all the dates are stuffed, place them in the freezer for about 1 hour, or until the filling is firm.
- Make the chocolate coating: While the dates are in the freezer, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Then, stir the crushed hazelnuts into the melted chocolate for that classic Ferrero Rocher crunch.
- Coat the dates: Dip each stuffed date into the crunchy chocolate, coating it completely. Place the dates in the fridge or freezer for a few minutes, until the chocolate hardens. Enjoy!

Notes
- Use fresh medjool dates. This is a game-changer! Fresh medjool dates are naturally sweet, make stuffing easier, and give the best chewy texture.
- Choose a high-quality chocolate. This is one of those recipes where the chocolate really matters! I opt for dark chocolate chips, this high-quality chocolate bar, or (when I'm feeling extra) this hazelnut butter chocolate bar for even more hazelnut flavor!
- Chocolate too thick? Add one teaspoon of coconut oil to thin the chocolate for easier dipping.
- Finely crush the hazelnuts. Smaller pieces will mix more evenly into the chocolate and mimic that classic Ferrero Rocher texture.
- Store them chilled. Keep them in the fridge or freezer for the best texture. The contrast between the crunchy chocolate shell and chewy center is unbeatable.
