Remove pits from the dates.

Mix your coconut flakes with coconut butter (or coconut oil or a touch of honey), the goal is to make it “sticky” or a bit “creamy” for your Almond Joy filling.

Using a spoon, fill your dates, then press an almond on top and pinch date back together.

In a small saucepan, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil.

Get a piece of parchment or wax paper ready.

Dip each stuffed date into the melted chocolate and place on parchment or wax paper to cool.

Store these in the refrigerator until ready to eat.
