Peanut stuffed dates bites – these are sweet and have a little crunch from peanuts. The mix of lemon and coconut is such a great flavor, healthy and perfect for sweet cravings.
I have been making a variety of dates bites for long. And the other day, my sister reminded of peanut-stuffed dates (deseeded dates and instead peanuts put in) we used to have growing up. That’s where the idea germinated to make these peanut-stuffed date-coconut-lemon bites!
They are a perfect blend of flavors with crunch inside! A must-must try for quick and healthy energy bites.
