Fill each date with peanut butter and set aside on a plate in the fridge.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir, then microwave for another 30 seconds until fully melted.
Remove the dates from the fridge and drizzle the melted chocolate over each date (you can dip half or the entire date, depending on your preference).
Sprinkle crushed peanuts and sea salt on top of each date.
Enjoy immediately, or return to the fridge for a firmer texture. You can also freeze for a chilled treat.

No peanut butter: Any nut butter can be used - sunflower, tahini, peanut, or cashew butter.
