Description

Directions

• In a food processor, pulse the almonds until they resemble a coarse meal (there should not be any large chunks of almonds).
• Add the pitted dates and cocoa powder to the almonds and pulse until the dates are shredded and the ingredients appear “wet” and crumbly (approximately 45 seconds).
• Add the coconut oil, honey, vanilla, and peppermint extract to the cocoa mixture. Pulse for 30-45 seconds, until the mixture begins to come together and the dough feels/appears wet.
• Form the dough into tablespoon-size balls and roll in the shredded coconut.
• Refrigerate for up to three weeks in an air-tight container.
