Chocolate Peanut Butter Bites
Servings 1 dozen
Ingredients
- 1 cup pitted/packed medjool dates
- ¼ cup natural peanut butter
- ¼ cup roasted peanuts
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened coconut flakes
- 2 tablespoons hemp seeds
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt see note
- Cocoa powder for rolling
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients, minus the salt. Pulse until everything comes together. Add a splash or two of water if needed. The crumbled mixture should easily come together.
- Take roughly 2 tablespoons of the mixture and roll into a ball. Continue and roll mixture into 12 balls and place in the refrigerator. Place a couple tablespoons of cocoa powder on a plate and roll the balls in the cocoa powder.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Notes
Tips & Tricks: Taste your mixture first before adding salt. I’ve found that peanut butter that has added salt will change the amount needed for extra salt.
Stock up: get the pantry ingredients you will need: dates, peanuts/hemp seeds
