Blend the Medjool dates, tahini, orange zest, and salt in a food processor until the mixture becomes smooth and sticky. 2. Line a small square dish or container with parchment paper. Press the date-tahini mixture evenly into the dish to create a firm base layer. Smooth the surface with a spatula. 3. Freeze the dish for 1 hour or until the mixture is firm and set. 4. Remove the firm mixture from the dish and cut it into small square pieces. 5. Melt the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil using your preferred method until smooth. 6. Using a fork or skewer, dip each square into the melted chocolate to coat it completely. Place the coated squares on a parchment-lined tray. 7. Freeze the tray for 15-20 minutes or until the chocolate hardens. 8. Once set, wrap each candy individually in small pieces of parchment paper for easy serving and storage.
