- 12 medjool dates, pitted
- 3 tablespoons almond butter
- 2 teaspoons non-dairy milk

- If your dates still have the pit in them, cut a slice down the middle of each date and remove the pit.
- Add the pitted dates, almond butter, non-dairy milk, and vanilla extract to a food processor and process until a ball forms.
- Place the mixture on a piece of parchment paper and top with another sheet of parchment paper, using your hand or a spatula to press on top of the paper and make an even square. Use a knife (wet with water if sticking) to help shape it into a square if needed. It should be about a 1/2 inch thick.OR, you can roll them into balls and freeze.
- Freeze for 30 minutes.
- Cut into small even squares. Place back into the freezer until ready to coat in chocolate.
- Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in the microwave.
- Dip each square into the melted chocolate until coated on all sides. Place back onto the parchment paper. Optional: top with flaky sea salt.
- Wait for the chocolate to harden and then dig in!
