Paleo Frozen Banana Bites
Remove the pits from the dates and coarsely chop. Place in a 1-cup measuring cup - the chopped dates should (loosely packed) fill to just above the 3/4-cup line. If not, use more dates. Cover with boiling water up to the 1-cup line and let sit for at least 30 minutes. You may need more time if the dates are not super soft and sticky.
Once the dates have softened, pour the dates and their soaking liquid into a blender or food processor. Process until completely smooth.
Add vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt to the date mixture and transfer back to measuring cup. It should be shy of 1-cup. Set aside.
Peel bananas and cut into twenty-four 1/4" pieces.
Line a mini-muffin tray with mini-muffin or candy liners and set up a double boiler to melt half (3.5 ounces) of the dark chocolate.
When chocolate is melted, working quickly, use about half of a teaspoon to fill the bottom of each candy cup. Make sure the chocolate spreads across the entire bottom and you can't see through it. Once done, place in freezer to set for 20 to 30 minutes.
Remove chilled tray, add one banana slice to the bottom of each candy cup and top with approximately 1/2 teaspoon of the date mixture.
Melt the remaining dark chocolate (3.5 ounces) and top each candy with a little less than 1 teaspoon until all of the chocolate is used up and each candy is completely coated.
