Stuffed Dates aka "Reindeer Poops"

I don't often post recipes for children but in the spirit of Christmas I am posting my first kiddy recipe! This "Reindeer Poop" recipe is suitable for people of all ages including adults and I am sure this recipe will bring a bit of fun at the Christmas table! This is probably the ugliest recipe I have ever made but it's reindeer poop so it's not supposed to be pretty hehe!

This is actually a very basic recipe of stuffed peanut butter dates covered in chocolate which could be made with the help of little ones to involve them in the making of this recipe. It only takes 10 min to whip up this recipe so it is a good one to make if having to bring a dish or sweet at a party at the last minute!
