Ingredients

2 cups vegan chocolate chips
2 teaspoons refined coconut oil
1/3 cup smooth peanut butter
1 tablespoon maple syrup
2-3 tablespoons oat flour
6 soft Medjool dates
1/4 cup roasted unsalted peanuts

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Make the peanut butter nougat. Warm the peanut butter in the microwave, if it's too stiff. Then mix in the maple syrup. Add in the oat flour until the mixture is slightly stiff then set aside.
Melt the chocolate. Add the chocolate and coconut oil to a double boiler and heat over medium heat. Start whisking when the chocolate is starting to melt and whisk until the chocolate is melted evenly. Take off heat. You can also melt the chocolate in the microwave. Melt in 30-second intervals and whisk. Once half of the chocolate has started melting and just whisk so that it's melted evenly.
Prep a muffin tin by adding muffin liners.
Add about 2 teaspoons of melted chocolate to the liner and move the liner to spread around at the bottom so that the chocolate goes up at least half an inch on the edges. You can use up to a tablespoon of melted chocolate, if the chocolate isn't spreading enough.
Then take about 2-3 teaspoons of the peanut butter nougat mixture then make it into a ball then flatten it so that it's almost the size of the muffin hole and place it on the melted chocolate.
Slice the date in half and remove the pit. Then spread out the half date into a somewhat circle so that it will fit over the peanut butter mixture and then place it on the peanut butter mixture in the muffin pan.
Spread some peanuts on top then add a tablespoon of the melted chocolate all over and spread it so that it covers all of the peanuts and also drips on the side.
Repeat to finish all the peanut nougat and chocolate. Place the muffin pan in the fridge so that the chocolate can harden.
Remove from the muffin liners after an hour and serve. Store refrigerated for upto 3 weeks

Notes

Peanut-free: If you want to make this without peanuts, you can also smooth almond butter. Use roasted cashews instead of peanuts.
