Instructions

1

Soak and Prep Dates

If your dates are not very soft, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes and drain well. Remove all pits if not already done.

2

Blend the Mixture

Add dates, almonds, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and sea salt to a food processor. Process for 2 to 3 minutes until the mixture is sticky and holds together when pressed between your fingers.

3

Roll into Balls

Using a tablespoon, scoop portions of the mixture and roll them between your palms to form smooth balls about 1 inch in diameter. The mixture should hold together easily.

Common mistakes

Using dried-out dates that are too firm resulting in a crumbly mixture that will not roll
Over-processing the mixture which creates an oily paste instead of a fudgy texture
