INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup dairy free dark chocolate
1 tbsp coconut oil
1 heaping cup pitted dates
pecan halves
Himalayan sea salt
DIRECTIONS
If your dates are a little hard, soak in hot water for 10 minutes. In a food processor, process dates until they become a jam-like consistency.
Roll the date mixture into 12-15 small balls using the palms of your hands, then place the balls onto parchment paper on a baking tray.
Press 3 pecan halves into the date balls to flatten and freeze for 8-10 minutes to set.
Heat a small saucepan over very low heat and add in the chocolate, coconut oil and stir until completely melted down. Remove from the heat.
Using a spoon, pour chocolate sauce over each date/pecan. Repeat until each one is covered with the chocolate.
Sprinkle on some Himalayan sea salt and store in the fridge or freezer + devour!
