- While the chocolate melts prepare dates.Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 20-22 pitted dates. Cut them lengthwise but only one side so that they fold open. Set on baking sheet.
- Scoop about a teaspoon of the nut mixture and roll it into a log. Place the log into the date, squeeze the sides of the date to close firmly. You should be able to see some of the nut mixture along the cut edge. Freeze prepared dates for 15-20 minutes until firm.
