1. Prepare the Dates

• Slice each date lengthwise on one side to create an opening. Remove the pit and gently open the date, keeping it intact.
• Arrange the pitted dates, open side up, on a parchment-lined plate or baking sheet.

2. Stuff the Dates

• Fill each date with about 1 tablespoon of almond butter.
• Nestle 2 whole roasted almonds into the almond butter in each date.

3. Melt the Chocolate

• Place the dark chocolate chunks or chips in a microwave-safe bowl.
• Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

4. Dip the Dates

• Using two forks, carefully lift each stuffed date and dip it into the melted chocolate, turning to coat evenly.
• Let any excess chocolate drip off, then place the chocolate-covered date back onto the parchment-lined plate.
• Repeat with all the dates.

5. Decorate and Set

• While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the tops with chopped roasted almonds and a pinch of flaky salt.
• Refrigerate the dates for about 20–30 minutes, or until the chocolate is set and firm.

6. Serve and Enjoy!

• Enjoy straight from the fridge for a cool, satisfying treat. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
