Description

Ingredients

• 25 medjool dates, pitted
• 1 cup roasted salted almonds (or 50 almonds)
• 8 oz dark chocolate (70-90%)
• 1 tbsp coconut oil
• Optional Toppings:
• Sea Salt
• Coconut flakes
• Chia Seeds
• Chopped nuts

Directions

• Begin by inserting 2 almonds in every date. Secure with a toothpick and set aside on a sheet of parchment paper.
• Using the stovetop, melt dark chocolate and coconut oil inside a small saucepan over medium low heat. (alternatively you can use a double boiler or microwave in 30 second intervals until chocolate is smooth). Remove chocolate from the stove.
• Dip each of the date/almonds into chocolate mixture until completely covered. Let the residual chocolate drip back into the pot. Place on parchment paper to dry.
• Sprinkle with any toppings you like. I used sea salt and coconut flakes.
• Place inside the freezer for 15 minutes (or fridge for 25), and remove toothpicks.
• Store inside an air tight container in the fridge.
