Dark chocolate chips along with a drizzle of olive oil are heated in a microwave until chocolate is smooth and velvety. Stuffed dates are then rolled into melted chocolate and are to be freezed for 10 minutes.

Mejdool pitted dates can be found at any grocery store, pitted dates are highly recommended for ease and convenience. Slightly pull the edge where you see the slit and gently stuff nuts and nut butter.

While the melted chocolate is still fresh on stuffed dates immediately sprinkle coconut/nuts so that it sticks properly. Isn't that a delicious and simple treat to make?
