Indulgent Chocolate-Hazelnut Stuffed Dates
This luxurious, delicious, nutritious, and quick dessert is excellent for any occasion, but especially when you want to show someone how much they mean to you. About a month ago, I read "The 5 Love Languages" by Gary Chapman and was so inspired by the book that I've already given three copies to my friends (and I'll soon give the fourth 😉).
