Dinner tonight was not nearly as exciting as the new dessert that I discovered! I almost always want something sweet after dinner (and sometimes lunch), and tonight was no different. I put together a little bowl with 1 tbsp of chocolate chips and 4 pitted dates. Pitted dates obviously have an empty tunnel in them, which I decided to fill with chocolate chips. Viola, chocolate chip dates! The chocolate chips fit snugly inside the dates. My tip for eating: stuff a few chocolate chips in the date, bite it in half, then put a few more chocolate chips in the other half, and eat that half. Maximization of chocolate and date! Delish!
Pitted dates with chocolate chips inside...
Dinner was leftover meatloaf, brussels sprouts, 2 tbsp of salsa, and 4 oz. of Chardonnay. It was a good dinner, but it didn't come close to the chocolate chip dates! YUM!

wow, chocolate chip dates, that sounds amazing! I lived in Israel this summer and had dates ALL THE TIME! I adore them and absolutely love chocolate too, but I've never thought to put them together. Good idea, I'll definitely be trying that soon!
I just stumbled on your blog and you new dessert looks awesome! So clever! I'm going to have to try it.
I love Brussels sprouts too! What's not to love about a cute little cabbage that transforms itself into a little ball of deliciousness when roasted in an oven!
Oooh, those dates look really yummy! Now I want to eat them too. :)
