Equipment

  • Knife
  • Microwaveable Bowl
  • Plate
  • Spoon
  • Parchment paper

Ingredients
  

  • 6 Dates Pitted and Opened
  • 3 Tablespoons Crunchy Peanut Butter
  • ¼ Cup Dark Chocolate Chips
  • ¼ teaspoon Coconut Oil
  • Maldon Sea Salt

Instructions
 

  • Grab each date, remove the pit and pull slightly open to make a little "boat". Place on a parchment paper lined plate.
  • Add about ½ tablespoon of crunchy natural peanut butter to each date. I use the Santa Cruz brand. Repeat until you get through all of your dates.
  • In a small, microwaveable bowl, add your dark chocolate chips and your coconut oil and heat for 30 seconds. Remove and give it a quick stir, place back in the microwave and microwave for 15 second intervals, stirring in between, until your chocolate is completely melted. Using a spoon, drizzle your chocolate on top of each date per preference.
  • Add a sprinkle of maldon sea salt on top of each date and place in the fridge for at least 5 minutes, until the chocolate has slightly hardened. ENJOY!
