Decadent Nut-Butter Stuffed Date Chocolates with Himalayan Sea Salt

Ingredients

• 16 pieces Medjool dates, pitted
• 1 cup almond butter
• 3 oz dark chocolate (70% cacao or higher), chopped
• 1 tsp coconut oil
• 1 tsp Himalayan sea salt

1. 01
   Carefully slice each date lengthwise and remove the pit if not already pitted.
2. 02
   Fill each date with about 1 teaspoon of almond butter, ensuring it is generously stuffed but not overflowing.
3. 03
   In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth.
4. 04
   Dip each stuffed date into the melted chocolate, using a fork to lift it out and letting the excess chocolate drip off.
5. 05
   Place the chocolate-coated dates on a parchment-lined tray.
6. 06
   Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle the dates with a pinch of Himalayan sea salt.
7. 07
   Refrigerate the dates for at least 30 minutes or until the chocolate is firm.
8. 08
   Serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy the sweet, creamy, and salty combination.
