Add nut butter: Fill each date with about 1 tsp of your favourite nut or seed butter.
Melt the chocolate: Use the microwave in short bursts, or create a double boiler by placing a heatproof bowl over a pot of gently simmering water (make sure the bowl doesnβt touch the water). Stir until smooth.
Top and sprinkle: Spoon melted chocolate over each date and finish with a pinch of flaky sea salt.
Chill to set: Refrigerate for 15β20 minutes until the chocolate is firm. Store in the fridge for up to a week.
