1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Carefully remove the pits from the dates. Gently press each date onto the parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they slightly overlap to create a cohesive foundation for the bark.
3. Melt the chocolate and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth. Pour the melted chocolate over the date mixture and spread it evenly.
4. Sprinkle the toppings over the chocolate.
5. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate is set.
6. Cut the bark into squares or bars and enjoy!
