In a high powered blender or food processor, combine the peanut butter, dates, coconut flour, and 2 tablespoons of water.
¾ cup (192g) creamy peanut butter, 6 pitted Medjool dates, ½ cup (64g) coconut flour
Blend to combine, and if it’s still a little dry, add the other 2 tablespoons of water.
Scoop into tablespoon-sized pieces and roll into the shape of a ball and place on a plate. Repeat until all of the peanut butter mixture is used.
Place in the freezer while you melt the chocolate.
1 cup (6 oz./170g) dark chocolate
Place your chocolate in a small but deep microwavable bowl or cup. Microwave in 30 second increments, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted.
Using a fork or dipping tool to dip each ball in the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off before placing on a parchment-lined plate or baking sheet. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt, if desired, while the chocolate is still melted. Repeat until they’re all dipped and then transfer to the refrigerator to let set. You'll probably have extra chocolate.

Keep stored in the refrigerator for a few weeks or in the freezer indefinitely. Enjoy!
