Chocolate-covered dates are the perfect small treat or after-dinner dessert. These are perfect with coffee.

16 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
20 to 25 pitted dates
Toasted almonds (or walnuts or pistachios)
Coconut flakes, for garnish

Gather the ingredients.
First, line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Stuff each date with nut of your choice.
Melt chocolate in microwave safe bowl for about 3 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking time.
Using a skewer, dip each date in chocolate. Allow excess chocolate to fall off by carefully rotating skewer. Place dipped date on parchment and sprinkle with coconut flakes. Repeat with remaining dates.
Allow dates to set in refrigerator for about 20 to 30 minutes before serving.
