Ingredients
- 8 oz dates
- ½ cup almond butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Use your fingers to gently pry open each pitted date and place them on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
- Spread about 1 teaspoon of almond butter inside each date.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Using a fork, dip each almond butter-stuffed date into the melted chocolate, turning to coat it evenly. Place the coated dates back onto the parchment-lined sheet pan and sprinkle each one with a touch of coarse sea salt while the chocolate is still wet. Refrigerate the dates for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm. Once set, they’re ready to enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.

Notes
- Hint: If your almond butter is too runny to stay inside the dates, pop it in the fridge for 10-15 minutes to firm up slightly before using—it makes stuffing the dates much easier!
- Top tip: For an extra smooth chocolate coating, make sure to let the melted chocolate cool slightly before dipping the dates—this will help prevent it from becoming too runny. Additionally, for a more polished look, you can dip the dates twice in chocolate for a thicker layer.
