Directions

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment. 
  2. Cut lengthwise slit in each date and remove pit. Remove date crown. 
  3. Fill each date with about ½ tsp almond butter and chopped almonds and press closed. 
  4. Make a double boiler using a small pot with about an inch of water. Place a small bowl over the pot and make sure the bottom isn’t touching the water. Add chocolate and coconut oil to bowl.
