Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Cut a slit in each date and remove the pit, if they’re not already pitted. Place on a parchment-lined tray or plate.
Fill each date with about 1 teaspoon of peanut butter. Place the stuffed dates back on the tray and place in the freezer for 30 minutes.
Place chocolate chips and coconut oil in a small microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
Dip each date into the melted chocolate, using two forks to fully coat and lift them out. Let any excess chocolate drip off, then place back on the tray.
Sprinkle with flaky sea salt, if using. Return to the freezer for 10-15 minutes, until the chocolate is completely set. Optional: After 5 minutes of chilling, remove the tray and drizzle any remaining chocolate over the dates. Return to the freezer to set.
Enjoy right away or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 10 days.

Notes

Coconut oil: Optional, but helps thin the melted chocolate so it’s easier to dip and coat the dates. Without it, the chocolate will be thicker and a bit harder to bite into.
