"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!

Supplies

• 15 medjoul dates
• 1 cup nuts of choice

Step 1:

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

Step 2:

Step 3:

blend to a smooth mixture

Step 4:

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

Step 5:

prepare a plate with coconut flakes in it

Step 6:

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

Step 7:

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