Place a spoonful of peanut butter in the center of each. Cover with remaining chocolate. Tap the pan to smooth out the tops. Refrigerate 30 minutes until set.

*While Medjool dates are high in natural sugars, they are low on the glycemic index thanks to a balanced amount of soluble fiber. The complex carbohydrates found in Medjool dates are digested at a slower rate, making them a source of dietary fiber and releasing energy to the body over a longer period of time.
