"Chocolate" Balls With a Healthy Twist!

As a child, one of the first desserts I ever made was chocolate balls.

I used to make them almost every week, and of course ate way too many of them...

As I got older, the love for my childhood's favorite dessert never passed, but as someone who cares a lot about health and fitness I tried finding a way to make my favorite dessert on the healthy side.

I tried many many recipes, but this one is the tastiest one I ever made and even better then my childhood memory, so I wanted to share it with more people so everyone will enjoy a healthy snack that feels like an unhealthy one :)

it's super quick and easy and even vegan, so let's get to it!

Ingredients:

• 15 medjoul dates
• 1 cup nuts of choice
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 1 tablespoon almond butter
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup milk of choice
• 2 table spoons chocolate chips
• coconut flakes

Insert into a food processor/blender the dates without the pit

add all ingredients except for the nuts

blend to a smooth mixture

add the nuts and blend a little more to crush them a bit

prepare a plate with coconut flakes in it

table a piece of the "chocolate" mixture to create small balls, and roll them in the coconut flakes until coated

store the "chocolate" balls in the fridge for about 30 minutes, and enjoy!

• I used pecan nuts, walnuts and hazelnuts, but you can choose any kind of nuts you want :)
• I used almond milk, but any kind of milk works here!
