My old flatmate used to eat these, she's big on healthy, delicious meals and treats. I, on the other hand, spent my time in Edinburgh stress eating whole tubs of Ben & Jerry's and family sized bags of cheesy watsits, with a repertoire of approximately two meals. I'm not even joking, I lived off of veggie pasta and eggs on toast for over a year (with the odd baked potato thrown in). It's a wonder I don't have malnutrition.
The odd health streaks I did have however, were mainly inspired by Lauren so I guess I have her to thank for not being morbidly obese yet. I actually do like healthy food, however I'm a creature of habit and also just plain lazy. That's what makes these little guys so bloody amazing actually, they take about 30 seconds to assemble and even people with an overt dislike of healthy treats will love 'em (probably).
You'll need...
Medjool dates (cause they're the fattest and squidgiest dates around)
Peanut butter (crunchy obvs)
Raw cocao powder.
Cut the stones out of the dates, spoon some peanut butter inside and then sprinkle with cocao powder.
*Disclaimer, I'm hella lucky to live with my parents, who are way into healthy eating themselves and never moan when I ask for weirdo ingredients. So I know not everyone is able to buy pricey ingredients, and these aren't necessarily the cheapest snacks around, however you should definitely be able to find cheaper alternatives ie plain cocoa powder (standard, run of the mill, supermarket stuff) instead of raw cocao powder. And when you think about it, chocolate bars ain't that cheap either.
