- Line a small baking sheet or plate with parchment paper and set aside.
- If your dates still have pits, carefully slice each one lengthwise down one side and remove the pit, keeping the date intact. They should open like a little book.
- Loosen up the waffle cone butter by placing it in a small bowl along with 1½ tsp of coconut oil, warm in the microwave in 10 second bursts. Stirring until consistency is “spreadable” and smooth.
- Place one small granola piece inside each date, then spoon about 1 tsp of waffle cone butter inside each of the dates. Use a small spoon or a piping bag, fill each date generously with granola butter. Don't be shy!
- Place the stuffed dates on the prepared parchment lined sheet and transfer to the freezer for 10 minutes to firm up slightly. This makes the chocolate drizzle step much cleaner and neater.
- While the dates chill, melt ½ cup chocolate and 1 teaspoon coconut oil together in a small microwave safe bowl in 30 second increments, stirring between each, until completely smooth and glossy. The coconut oil thins the chocolate slightly for a beautiful drizzle consistency.
- Remove the dates from the freezer. Using a spoon or fork, drizzle the melted chocolate generously over each stuffed date. Or if you want to coat each date, melt more chocolate and coconut oil then submerge in the chocolate–allowing excess to drip off. Work quickly before the chocolate sets.
- Immediately sprinkle each date with a pinch of 1 pinch flaky sea salt, waffle cone granola crumbs and finely chopped pistachios before the chocolate sets.
- Return the dates to the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes until the chocolate is fully set. Transfer to a serving platter and enjoy! These are best served at room temperature so pull them out a few minutes before serving.
