1. Prep the dates: Remove the pits from the dates. Place them on a sheet of parchment paper. Add another piece of parchment paper on top and use a rolling pin to gently flatten them.
2. Flip and open: Flip the parchment so the sticky side is facing up, then peel off the top layer to expose the flattened dates.
3. Add banana + fold: Place one banana slice on one side of each date. Fold the date over to create a little “banana sandwich.”
4. Freeze briefly: Place the date sandwiches in the freezer for a few minutes while you prepare the chocolate.
5. Melt the chocolate: In a saucepan over low heat, add the coconut oil and chocolate chips. Stir until fully melted, smooth, and silky.
6. Coat in chocolate: Remove the dates from the freezer. Dip or coat each one in the melted chocolate and place onto a parchment-lined baking sheet (you can reuse the same parchment).
7. Optional topping + final freeze: Add sprinkles if desired. Place back in the freezer until set.
To Serve: Enjoy straight from the freezer for a cold, chewy, chocolatey treat.
