These Crunchy Date Rounds are a delightful treat that combines the sweetness of dates with the crunchiness of nuts. They are easy to make and perfect for a snack or dessert. The dates are filled with a mixture of nuts, coconut, and spices, then coated in a layer of crispy breadcrumbs. Each bite is a burst of flavor and texture. Enjoy these delicious treats with a cup of tea or coffee.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup pitted dates
  • 1/2 cup mixed nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, and pistachios), finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup melted butter

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the chopped nuts, shredded coconut, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Mix well.
  3. Take one pitted date and make a lengthwise slit in the center, creating a pocket.
  4. Fill the pocket with about a teaspoon of the nut mixture. Repeat with the remaining dates.
  5. In another small bowl, combine the bread crumbs and melted butter. Mix well to form a crumbly mixture.
  6. Roll each filled date in the bread crumb mixture, making sure they are evenly coated.
  7. Place the coated dates on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
  8. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely before serving. Enjoy!
