These chocolatey delights are naturally sweet, with a little bit of spice and super easy to put together.  They are made with nutrient rich Medjool dates, deep dark anti-oxidant filled cacao and spices.  Decadent to say the least!

Ingredients

  • 14 Medjool Dates pitted
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons organic cacao powder
  • 2 tablespoons cinnamon
  • 1/8 to ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ¼ cup raw walnut pieces - optional

Method

  1. Add all of the ingredients except for walnuts into a food processor and blend until a paste forms.  Remove from food processor and chill in fridge for 30 minutes
  2. Meanwhile, chop the walnuts (if using) in food processor to a fine texture
  3. Once date mixture has been chilled, roll the mixture into ½ inch balls and roll in chopped nuts.
