Ok, Almond Butter Stuffed Roaches sounds downright disgusting. I agree it does! But it is kind of fun in a twisted, demented way, to walk around the Halloween Party asking the guests if they would like a Stuffed Roach.
Arranged on a platter with rubber toy roaches in among them is enough to make your skin crawl. Gross as all get out, but gosh they sure did taste good. They were part of the Halloween ambiance and done with good humor. The important thing is to know your audience.
I recommend Medjool dates that are fresh and plump. Be sure to inspect each date after you remove the pit. Like all dried fruits, molds and critters can take up home in there. I don’t mean to gross you out yet again… but this is real life folks.
For the insides, you can make your own almond butter in the comfort of your own home. Click (here) to learn how. You can also use any nut butter to your liking inside. We tend to use a lot of almond butter for not only the taste but nutritional reasons.
Almonds have monounsaturated fatty acids, dietary fiber, antioxidants, vitamins like riboflavin, and trace minerals such as magnesium. (2) They are also a great source of vitamin E and other antioxidants that nourish the skin and reduce signs of aging.
I hope you enjoy this super simple recipe. They go together quick which is perfect for those hosting parties. Blessings, amie sue
Well maybe the idea is disgusting but dates and almond butter is heaven!
haha I warned that it was gross…but then it was a Halloween party :)
O yummy, these look good-I will just pretend they are almond date BROACHES, okay?
You betcha…I like it…Broaches :)
How long can you keep these refrigerated?
Gosh I would think weeks! I haven’t tested to see how long… only because they get eaten so quickly. :)
