Stuffed dates covered in chocolate

Ingredients

• 250 g of nice pitted dates
• 150 g of almond paste
• 150 g dark chocolate
• 100 g of praline
• 1 tbsp. tablespoon of orange peel cut into small pieces
• For the decor:
• 50 g orange peel cut into thin strips

• Preparation

  In a bowl, mix the almond paste, praline and orange peel. Make sausages the size and shape of dates. Cut the dates lengthwise, pit them and stuff them with an almond and orange pudding.

  In a saucepan, melt the dark chocolate in a bain-marie. Dip a stuffed date in it, place it on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and decorate, before the chocolate cools, with a strip of orange peel.

  Repeat the operation until the ingredients are used up. Allow the dates to harden before serving.
