  2. Fill each date with about ½ tsp of peanut butter or nut butter of your choice
  3. Crush graham crackers in a separate bowl and sprinkle into each date
  4. Pinch the dates together (they don’t have to be glued shut!)

  6. Microwave chocolate and coconut oil together in 30 second intervals mixing between to avoiding burning, until reached desired smoothness
