Notes
If your dates are dry, you may need to add a touch of water for the mixture to stick. Start with 1/2 tablespoon and increase as needed.The maple syrup is optional, but helps the mixture stick a little more and adds a little sweetness. If not using, you may need to add a touch of water.You can melt the chocolate in the microwave, 30 seconds at a time to avoid burning. For better drizzling, stir in a small amount of coconut oil.
