"The big bang would have created zillions of tiny dark energy stars out of the vacuum," says Chapline, who worked on this idea with Mazur. "Our universe is pervaded by dark energy, with tiny dark energy stars peppered across it." These small dark energy stars would behave just like dark matter particles: their gravity would tug on the matter around them, but they would otherwise be invisible. Aren't tiny black holes supposed to evaporate?

The tiny dark stars aren't black holes (according to Chapline). So the Hawking evaporation process isn't relevant to them.
Maybe.

DOH!
