Ingredients

• 12 pieces Medjool dates
• 200 grams Dark chocolate
• 0.5 teaspoons Sea salt
• 12 pieces Almonds
• 1 teaspoons Coconut oil

Directions

Step 1

Slice each Medjool date lengthwise and carefully remove the pit, ensuring not to cut all the way through the date.

Step 2

Insert one almond into the center of each pitted date and gently press the date closed around the almond.

Step 3

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate and coconut oil. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.

Step 4

Using a fork or small tongs, dip each almond-stuffed date into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Let the excess chocolate drip off before placing the date onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 5

While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt on top of each coated date.

Step 6

Once all the dates are dipped and salted, transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator and allow the chocolate to set for about 30 minutes.

Step 7

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
