A few tips:

I prefer using medjool dates for these tasty bites.
The most important thing is however to use juicy and soft dates, to ensure they’re easy to bit in and have a wonderful sweet taste.
I used salted caramel and chocolate ice cream for these bites. Then topped them with peanut butter, almond butter, peanuts and salted almonds.
You can use any ice cream, nut butter and nuts of your liking. Just use what you have at home or the flavours you like the most.
Fill the dates well with the ice cream, to make sure you really get a good amount of ice cream in each bite. Then top the dates with nut butter and nuts. You will either way dip them in chocolate making sure everything holds together. So you don’t have to fit everything inside the dates.
I used dark chocolate for these chocolate covered date bites, you can however use any chocolate of your liking.
If you want to make these date bites dairy free use a dairy free ice cream.
If you want to make these date bites vegan use vegan ice cream.
If you’re allergic to nuts, you can use any seed butter of your liking.
Make sure to freeze the date for at least two hours after stuffing them with ice cream, nut butter and almonds. This will make it easier to dip them in the melted chocolate.
Store these date bites in the freezer.
