Add the dates to a bowl and cover with boiling water then let them soak for 5-10 minutes. meanwhile, melt the coconut oil.
After 5-10 minutes, strain the dates and add to a food processor along with the melted coconut oil, nut butter, vanilla, and salt. process everything together until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the food processor as needed.
Once smooth and creamy add the fudge mixture to a loaf pan tray lined with parchment paper and smooth it out then top with flaky sea salt.
Place the fudge in the freezer until frozen solid (usually at least 4-5 hours).
Once frozen, remove the fudge from the freezer and slice into bite sized squares then dig in and enjoy! store leftovers in the freezer.
