Ingredients
  

1 cup Medjool dates, pitted and finely chopped

1 cup raw almonds, roughly chopped

1 cup dark chocolate chips (at least 70% cocoa)

½ cup almond butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

¼ teaspoon sea salt

¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Flaky sea salt for finishing

Instructions
 

Prepare the Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped Medjool dates, roughly chopped raw almonds, almond butter, vanilla extract, sea salt, and ground cinnamon (if using). Stir thoroughly until the ingredients form a sticky and cohesive mixture.

    Shape into Discs: With your hands, take small portions of the mixture and roll them into disc shapes, approximately 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Place the shaped discs onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they are pressed together firmly for compactness.

      Freeze the Discs: Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer. Allow the discs to freeze for about 30 minutes, or until they are firm and set.

        Melt the Chocolate: While the discs are chilling, prepare the chocolate coating. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval until completely smooth. Be cautious not to overheat the chocolate, as it can become seizing.

          Coat the Discs: Once the discs are firm, remove them from the freezer. Using a fork, dip each disc into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are completely coated. Gently lift the chocolate-coated discs out and allow any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.

            Add Garnish and Refreeze: Place the chocolate-covered discs back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. If desired, sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top of each disc for added flavor. Return the tray to the freezer for an additional 20-30 minutes to allow the chocolate to fully set.

              Serve and Enjoy: After the chocolate has hardened, carefully transfer the Frozen Choco-Date Almond Discs to an airtight container. Store them in the freezer until you're ready to enjoy these delightful treats. They're perfect for satisfying your sweet cravings or as a convenient snack!
