Blend Dates
Open up each date and check the inside for bugs. Discard the seed and hard piece at the top of the date.To a food processor fitted with the "S" blade, add dates, cacao powder, nut butter, honey, vanilla extract, and coconut oil. Process for about 3 minutes, until a smooth paste forms. It will be very thick.
