Start by preparing the dates: Use a sharp knife to slice each Medjool date lengthwise on one side and carefully remove the pit. Be sure to leave the flesh of the date intact so that it forms a pocket.
Using a teaspoon, fill each date with about 1/2 tablespoon of almond butter. Ensure the butter is well-contained within the date's cut opening.
Once all dates are filled, sprinkle each one with a pinch of chopped almonds and shredded coconut for added texture and flavor.
Lightly sprinkle sea salt over the stuffed dates to enhance the sweetness of the dates and almond butter.
If desired, melt the vegan dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely melted and smooth.
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the stuffed dates for an extra rich, decadent touch. Allow to set for a few minutes.
Serve immediately and enjoy this deliciously healthy treat, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
