Meanwhile, microwave the chocolate in a deep small microwave-safe bowl in 30 second bursts for about 2 minutes(More or less).In every 30 seconds, keep stirring the chocolate.
Once the chocolate has melted and it flowy and smooth, Stop heating the chocolate.
If the chocolate is thick and not flowy, add ¼ teaspoon of coconut oil to it. Mix it up and add more oil if needed(Read notes)
Either drizzle the chocolate on top or you can dip it completely.
Keep the chocolate dipped date on a flat tray lined with parchment paper.

Notes

Date Seed - Remember to remove the date seeds. Check patiently, especially if you are making this for children. Date Seeds are a choking hazard.

Coconut Oil- When adding coconut oil, do it in small ¼ teaspoon increments. Do not go over board- otherwise the chocolate will melt at room temp too.

Toothpick -Use a Toothpick to dip the date in melted chocolate. The tooth pick will also keep the filling together plus make it easy for you to eat the snicker dates.
