Ingredients
- 15 Medjool dates pitted
- 3 Tablespoons coconut butter homemade or store bought, melted
- 3 Tablespoons unsweetened desiccated coconut plus more for topping
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips I used Enjoy Life
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- Flaky sea salt for topping
Instructions
- Slice each date down the center, remove the pit, spoon ¼-½ teaspoon coconut butter into the center
- Add ½ teaspoon coconut on top of the coconut butter and close the date back up.
- Melt chocolate by adding chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 1 minute in the microwave. The chocolate chips should be almost completely melted at this point. Stir the mixture together until all the chips have melted down. (The heating process can also be done on the stove if you prefer.)
- Dip each coconut butter stuffed date into the chocolate and roll it until all the edges are covered. Place on a piece of parchment paper. Continue until all dates have been covered.
- Sprinkle a little sea salt or more shredded coconut on top of the chocolate and place dates in the refrigerator for 30-45 minutes to allow the chocolate to set. Remove from the fridge and serve. Keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.
