Instructions
  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather Medjool dates, dark chocolate, nuts, and sea salt along with a mixing bowl, microwave-safe bowl, and parchment paper.
  2. Melt Chocolate: In the microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring after each until smooth.
  3. Prepare Dates: Make a lengthwise slit in each Medjool date without slicing all the way through.
