2 oz Medjool dates, pitted

Slit each date lengthwise and remove the pit if it still has one. Fill each cavity with half the peanut butter and press the sides together slightly to close. Place the dates on a plate lined with parchment paper.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped dark chocolate and coconut oil. Microwave in 20 second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely smooth.
Whisk the chocolate whey protein powder into the melted chocolate. Add the warm water a few drops at a time, whisking constantly, until the glaze is thick but drips slowly off a fork. If it is too thick to dip, add a few more drops of melted coconut oil.
Dip each stuffed date into the chocolate mixture using a fork to coat completely, letting any excess drip off. Return the dates to the parchment paper and sprinkle with the salt. Place in the freezer to set for 20 minutes. Let the dates sit at room temperature for 2 minutes before serving. Done when the shell is firm and matte.
