Dark Chocolate Nutella Cups

This is a really simple, no-bake recipe for chocolate cups filled with a rich Nutella mixture. The filling is just a combination of Nutella, almond flour, and dates, which gives it a thick, fudgy texture. It's all encased in a dark chocolate shell and finished with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.
