Ingredients

2 pitted Medjool dates
¼ tbsp natural almond butter (or nut butter of choice)
¼ tbsp ≥85% dark chocolate, melted
Optional: chopped walnuts or pistachios; sea salt

Method

Flatten the dates between two pieces of parchment paper using the back of a spoon or your palms, so they blend together.
Drizzle with nut butter, add optional chopped nuts, then drizzle with melted chocolate.
Optionally sprinkle with sea salt.
Freeze 20–25 minutes until hardened, then cut into bite-size pieces. Keep refrigerated.
