  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp plant milk
  • 2 tsbp peanut butter

  • 300 g medjool dates
  • 300 g almonds

  • Prepare the Inside Filling:
    Remove the pits from the dates and add them to a food processor along with the cocoa powder, maple syrup, plant milk, and peanut butter.
    Blend until smooth, forming a consistency like a healthy chocolate spread.
  • Shape the Inside Filling:
    Using 2 teaspoons, carefully shape the mixture into 8-10 small balls, approximately 2 cm in diameter.
    Set aside.
  • Prepare the Outer Layer:
    Wash the food processor.

    Blend until the mixture is well combined.
  • Shape the Outer Layer:
    Carefully shape and flatten portions of the outer layer into small rectangles, approximately 4 cm square.
    Place the inside filling ball in the centre of each rectangle, then fold the outer layer over, ensuring the inside filling is completely covered.
    Roll gently to form a smooth ball.
  • Coat with Cocoa Nibs:
    Roll each ball in the cocoa nibs, ensuring they are well coated.
    Repeat with the remaining mixture.
    Enjoy!
