Say goodbye to store-bought candy and hello to a homemade, healthier alternative! Get ready to impress your taste buds and your health-conscious friends with this easy-to-make recipe.

Ingredients

• 10 ounces Medjool dates, pitted
• 1 1/2 cups Chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon Coconut oil
• ½ cup Peanut butter
• 3/4 cup Almonds, raw

Instructions

1. In a food processor add dates and almonds. Pulse until broken up and combined.

3. Using a muffin pan, add muffin liners. Then, press one tablespoon of date mixture (crust) into the bottom of 22 slots.
4. In a microwave safe bowl combine chocolate and coconut oil. Microwave on :30 intervals stirring occasionally until melted and smooth.
5. Add 1 tablespoon of melted chocolate on top of each crust, using the back of your tablespoon, spread out evenly to cover crust.
6. Top each cup with 1-2 mini salted pretzels.
7. Sprinkle each cup with a pinch of salt.
8. Place muffin pan in refrigerator until the chocolate becomes firm, about 1-2 hours.
9. Store in an airtight container for up to 7 days in the refrigerator.
