Soak the pitted dates in a bowl with boiling water for 5 minutes, then pat dry.
In a food processor, blitz the coconut, ground almonds and rolled oats together to a fine crumble.
Add the coconut oil and dates, and blitz again until the mixture can be squeezed together in your hands.
Line a cupcake or muffin tin with 6 cupcake cases, and divide the mixture evenly between the cases.
Using the back of a spoon or your fingers, carefully push the mixture to the sides of the tin to form the base and sides of the cups, ensuring there are no gaps.
Place the tin in the fridge for the cups to firm up while you prepare the peanut butter.
Heat the peanut butter slightly in the microwave or a pan, so that it becomes easier to work with, and then stir in the collagen.
Pipe or add a dollop of peanut butter into each of the cups, leaving enough space at the top for the chocolate.
Place the tin back into the fridge until the peanut butter firms up.
Melt the dark chocolate in short bursts in the microwave, or over a pan of boiling water, and drizzle on top of the peanut butter. Return to the fridge for the chocolate to set.
Enjoy! Best kept in the fridge!
