Chewy, caramel-like Medjool dates are stuffed with a chunky mixture of ground pine nuts and walnuts 🌰 for the perfect crunch. A hint of course-ground black pepper balances the sweetness of the dates that are finished in a bath of warm honey 🍯.

Steps
Add the nuts into a mortar and pestle. You can also do this in a food processor if you want to save on time.
Crush the nuts until fine. Add the pepper and stir.
Make a cut on each date in the middle and take out the pit. Fill each date with the nut filling.
In a pan, warm up the honey on medium heat until it’s super thin but not bubbling.
Take the pan off the heat, add in the dates and baste them with the honey. Serve and enjoy!
