If dates are pitted, carefully slice one side of the medjool date and remove the pit. Repeat for all dates, then set aside.
16 medjool dates
To a small bowl, add shredded coconut and coconut peanut butter, or other nut butter spread. Mix until well combined (note, that depending on the consistency of your nut butter, you may need to add a little extra).
1/2 cup shredded coconut, 1/4 cup coconut peanut butter spread
Fill each date with the coconut mixture and set down on a plate or small pan with the coconut side facing up.
In a separate small bowl, add chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave for 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval, until chocolate is completely melted. This will take around 60-90 seconds.
1/4 cup chocolate chips, 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Let chocolate cool slightly, then transfer to a piping bag or a small ziplock bag. Cut a tiny corner off one of the tips, then drizzle chocolate over each date. Once done, transfer to the fridge for 15-20 minutes, or until chocolate has hardened.
To store, transfer coconut dates to an airtight container and keep in the refrigerator for up to one week. Enjoy!
