Notes

Soft dates such as Medjool dates taste best.   
Do not allow child to handle sharp knife, use only plastic knives designed for kids. 
Ensure the dates are not cut into halves, just slit them to remove the seeds. 
If you feel the melted chocolate is thick, then add 1 teaspoon coconut oil and stir well.
The time required to melt chocolate in the microwave might vary depending on the type and settings of the microwave.
