What you'll need
Pitted dates
Mixed nuts - used your favourites (any nuts work well as they are blitzed in food processor)
Peanut butter
Dark chocolate (grated or crushed)
Dessicated coconut/ cocoa powder for coating
Extras for variations
Raisins
Dried cranberries
You can make up to your desired quantities which is why I haven't added measurements in. Getting the consistency to roll into small balls is easy, if it's too dry, add more peanut butter, or too wet, add more fruit and nuts
- If dates are dry, soak in water for 10 mins to soften
- Cut up dates, add nuts and chocolate and blitz in food processor
- Add tablespoons of peanut butter a little at a time until desired consistency is reached. Try to roll a ball, if the ingredients hold together well and aren't too wet you can roll 3cm diameter balls and coat in either dessicated coconut or cocoa powder
This is a very loose recipe and open to lots of variations to suit all tastes
Can be stored in fridge for 2 weeks or freezer for even longer.
I also added prunes to ours which made the mixture a lot wetter but worked well
