10 to 12 pieces Medjool dates, pitted and soft Use fresh, soft dates for best texture.
2 to 3 tablespoons nut or seed butter (peanut, almond, cashew, or tahini) Keep it thin to hold layers together.
1 cup melted dark chocolate chips or chopped chocolate Use 70% or higher chocolate for reduced sweetness.
1 to 2 teaspoons coconut oil Optional for smoother melting.
1 to 2 tablespoons crunchy toppings (chopped nuts, seeds, or crushed pretzels) Add for extra texture.
to taste Flaky sea salt For finishing touch.

Line a small baking sheet or plate with parchment.
Split the dates open and press them flat on the parchment, overlapping slightly to form a rectangle about a quarter inch thick.
Spread the nut or seed butter over the date layer.
Melt the chocolate gently in the microwave or double boiler, adding coconut oil if desired.
Pour melted chocolate over the nut butter layer and smooth it out.
Sprinkle with crunchy toppings and finish with a light pinch of flaky salt.
Freeze for 10 to 15 minutes until firm, then break into shards or slice into squares.

Store in an airtight container with parchment layers to prevent sticking. Keeps in the fridge for up to a week and frozen for two months.
