Ingredients

• 2 cups pitted dates
• 1 cup almonds
• 2 TBS almond butter
• 1 TBS unsweetened almond milk
• 2 TBS cocoa powder
• ½ tsp vanilla
• ¼ tsp salt
• More almond butter for drizzling (optional)

Directions

• Line a baking pan with wax paper, set aside. (You will not be baking these, you just need a place to set your rolled bites as you make them).
• Put dates and almonds in your food processor fitted with an “S” blade. Process until mixture in fine and homogeneous.
• Add the rest of the ingredients (almond butter, almond milk, cocoa powder, vanilla and salt) to your food processor and process until mixture just starts to clump together (see picture).
• Roll 1 TBS portions of your “dough” into balls and place them on your prepared baking sheet.
• Transfer to an airtight container to save for later! These can be stored at room temperature, but will last longer when kept in the fridge or freezer! I think they taste the best cold/frozen!
• If your almond butter isn’t drizzling consistency from the jar, gently warm it in the microwave or on the stovetop until it is runny enough to drizzle on!
