Stuffed Dates with Peanut Butter, Coconut and Cacao Nibs
There are several great things about stuffed dates: You can make them savory or sweet, they’re easy and they make a delicious appetizer to go with cocktails or a quick snack for the kids. Here are two examples, but you can be creative and stuff them with almost anything. What about soft goat cheese and prosciutto with a sprinkle of pistachios? Or cream cheese with crushed pecans and a chocolate drizzle?

- ¼ cup cacao nibs
