Slice the medjool dates lengthwise on one side and remove the pits. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
Roll the fondant into small logs, approximately the size of the cavity inside each date.
Fill each date with a piece of fondant, gently pressing it into the hollow space where the pit was removed.
Optional: For extra crunch, sprinkle the chopped pistachios on top of the fondant in each date.
Optional: If youβd like a chocolate coating, melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second increments, stirring in between until smooth.
Dip each stuffed date halfway into the melted chocolate, allowing the excess to drip off. Place them on parchment paper to set.
Optional: Sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt on the chocolate-coated section before it hardens to enhance flavor.
Allow the chocolate to set completely (you can place them in the refrigerator to speed up the process if desired).
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
