Sponge cake pieces or cookies or fruits like strawberries, apple or cherries dipped in chocolate sauce are not only tasty but a quick dessert to prepare. For a change, Dates can be used instead. In this recipe, seedless dates have been stuffed with pistachios and then dipped in cholate sauce. Other nuts can also be used instead of pistas. This is an easy to make and light dessert and is good for the kids.

|---|---|
| De-seeded Dates | 12 |
| Pistachios | ¼ cup |
| icing Sugar | 1 tsp |

- Take one date at a time and make a slit in the center to place the stuffing.
- Stuff the dates with half a teaspoon of the pista mixture.
- Take a microwave bowl and add the chocolate chips and butter and melt in the microwave for about 30seconds. Stir in between. If a microwave is not available, can the chocolate chips can be put in a glass or metal bowl and placed over boiling water to melt the chocolate. See that no water gets into the chocolate.
