These are SO easy to make and very rich and yummy. They are refined sugar free, only sweetened with dates.
Makes 12-16
Ingredients:
1/2 Cup organic cacao
3 Tablespoons coconut oil
2 Tablespoons nut butter of choice (no sugar added)
1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
2-3 Medjool dates (2 large or 3 small-medium), roughly chopped
2 Pinches of Maldon or pink/sea salt
6 Tablespoons chia seeds (optional)
Directions:
Place cacao, coconut oil, nut butter, vanilla extract, dates, and salt into base of a food processor.
Process until smooth
Pour chia seeds onto a plate or a shallow dish if using
With hands form mixture into 12-16 balls (1/2-3/4 inches in diameter) and roll some or all into the chia seeds until covered (this part is optional). I use a teaspoon to scoop out a portion of the mixture to form into the ball.
Chill in the refrigerator until ready to eat/serve
