🍫 Ingredients

• 1 cup pitted Medjool dates (soft and sticky)

• ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (or raw cacao)

• 1 cup raw almonds (or walnuts, cashews)

🔧 Instructions

1. Soften Dates (if needed)
   If your dates are a bit dry, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes and drain well.
2. Blend Ingredients
   In a food processor, pulse almonds until finely chopped. Add dates and cocoa powder, then blend until the mixture is sticky and holds together when pressed.
3. Form Bites
   Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions and roll into balls with your hands. You should get about 12–15 bites.
4. Chill and Store
   Place in the fridge for 15–20 minutes to firm up. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage.

✅ Customization Tips

• Roll in shredded coconut, chia seeds, or crushed nuts for extra texture

• Add a pinch of sea salt or cinnamon for a flavor boost

• Swap almonds for peanut butter (2–3 tbsp) if you prefer a smoother blend
