Clean Eating Dark Chocolate “Turtles”

These turtles can be kept at room temperature, but the chocolate and date may soften and become sticky, so refrigerate to keep them at their best!
Ingredients
3½ oz dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa, preferably unsweetened or with unrefined sweetener)
1 cup pitted dates
2 oz pecan halves
Instructions
Process dates in a food processor until they become a sticky and very thick jam-like consistency.
Roll the processed dates into 15 small balls, place on a lightly greased cookie sheet.
Press 3 pecan halves into the date balls.
Heat a small saucepan over low heat, add in dark chocolate and slowly melt into a sauce.
Pour a small amount of sauce over each date/pecan ball.
Place in the fridge to set for at least 10 minutes – the chocolate will harden and hold everything together.
