The possibilities are ENDLESS😱There's the classic [peanut butter and chocolate,](https://blog.joolies.com/the-best-10-stuffed-date-recipes) savory combos like [bacon wrapped stuffed dates,](https://blog.joolies.com/bacon-wrapped-stuffed-dates) or more unique ones like [cookie dough stuffed dates](https://blog.joolies.com/the-best-10-stuffed-date-recipes)! Is there anything you can't stuff a date with?! We don't think so!   Our latest favorite is Stokes Purple® sweet potato stuffed dates (say that 5x fast🤪). And yes, you read that right...sweet potatoes🍠 But not your average orange one, these are a gorgeous purple! [Frieda's](https://www.friedas.com/shop/)[Stokes Purple®](https://www.friedas.com/shop/) have an earthy, yet sweet flavor and contain a high level of antioxidants and are also an excellent source of vitamin C and fiber!    ![D25676C7-E94F-468B-849E-EDF4C2C775D7-644BB86C-6025-45E2-821B-C8FC8D6431F1](https://blog.joolies.com/hs-fs/hubfs/New%20Blog%20Compress%20Images/D25676C7-E94F-468B-849E-EDF4C2C775D7-644BB86C-6025-45E2-821B-C8FC8D6431F1.jpg?width=889&name=D25676C7-E94F-468B-849E-EDF4C2C775D7-644BB86C-6025-45E2-821B-C8FC8D6431F1.jpg)   Now we can't forget to mention the \*essential\* toppings we have going on here! The Lark Ellen Farm vegan & paleo granola just gives you the perfect little crunch. We love using the [Cacao Cherry](https://www.larkellenfarm.com/products/cacao-cherry-grain-free-bites) or [Vanilla Cinnamon](https://www.larkellenfarm.com/products/vanilla-cinnamon-granola) for this date recipe! Then we just had to add a drizzle of our [Joolies date syrup](https://joolies.com/products/datesyrup) to bring it all together.    ![medjool dates ](https://blog.joolies.com/hs-fs/hubfs/749D9E77-056B-45F4-B9C9-6735939AB1B5-977432D1-5A0C-4596-AE0C-E97B1DEC8A68.jpg?width=3024&name=749D9E77-056B-45F4-B9C9-6735939AB1B5-977432D1-5A0C-4596-AE0C-E97B1DEC8A68.jpg)   What all goes into this fun sweet snack? Here are the main ingredients you need:    1. 1. [**Joolies Dates**](https://joolies.com/products/copy-of-organic-medjool-dates-whole-2-pack) - You can't stuff a date without a date! We love using our pitted option for these, but whole work just as well! Just be sure to remove the pit😉 2. [**Frieda's Stokes Purple® Sweet Potato**](https://www.friedas.com/products/stokes-purple-sweet-potato/) - You'll need to bake these beforehand (see instructions below). We don't recommend substituting this for a different sweet potato because stokes have a distinct, delicious flavor!  3. **Pecan Butter** - Adding a healthy fat into this sweet snack will help keep you fueled and full longer. We love [Georgia Grinders Pecan Butter](https://www.georgiagrinders.com/products/georgia-grinders-pecan-butter.html)but you can substitute any nut/seed butter you have on hand. 1. 1.   If you make this sweet snack, be sure to tag us on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/jooliesdates/) and [Pinterest](https://www.pinterest.com/jooliesdates/overview/) so we can see all your date-able recreations!
