4. Sprinkle Granuesli® over the top of each date.  I used Cherry Almond Hemp here but both flavors will be delicious.

5. If desired, transfer dates to serving dish or leave on parchment paper.

6. In a small bowl microwave chocolate chips for 20 seconds, stir, repeat in 20 second increments until just combined.

7. Using a spoon drizzle the chocolate over the top of the dates.

8. Sprinkle with Himalayan sea salt.
