1Pit the dates and place them on a parchment lined quarter sheet.
2In a small bowl, mix together the peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
3Press about 1 tsp of crushed peanuts into each of the pitted dates.
4Follow with peanut butter caramel and smooth to create a flat surface, do not overfill.

6Repeat with the remaining dates, sprinkle with cardamom and freeze for 30 minutes.
7While the dates are freezing, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in the microwave in 15-second increments, stirring between intervals until the chocolate is smooth and glossy.
