Ingredients
3 oz (80gm) high quality dark chocolate.* 1 teaspoon vegetable oil. 24 Dates (almost). 24 almond pieces.

Instructions
Make a double broiler by filling a small pot with about an inch of water and bring to a simmer. Place a small bowl over the pot and make sure the bottom of the bowl is not touching the water. Add the chocolate chunks and the oil and let that melt slowly stirring constantly. Cut a slit in each date and remove the pit. Stuff with almonds/nuts and close the date over. Using two forks, drop the dates in the melted chocolate, roll to cover, then take the date out and carefully shake off any excess chocolate. Place them on a parchment lined baking sheet. Allow them to set for 5 minutes on your counter and then pop them in the freezer for 10 minutes. Meanwhile prepare your garnish by melting the white chocolate with the oil again over a double broiler. Take the chocodate out and garnish with ribbons of white chocolate, pop again in the freezer for more 5 minutes to set completely. Enjoy!!
Notes
* You can use any chocolate you like dark, milk or white chocolate but make sure it is made with coco butter.
