Method
 

Instructions
  1. Add 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, and ¼ teaspoon salt to a food processor. Pulse until the mixture breaks down, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
  2. Continue pulsing until the mixture clumps together and holds when pressed between your fingers. If the mixture is too dry and won’t come together, add a splash or two of water and pulse again until it just holds.
  3. Scoop roughly 2 tablespoons of mixture for each portion and roll between your palms into balls. Continue until you have 12 balls.
  4. Put a couple tablespoons of cocoa powder on a plate and roll each ball in the cocoa powder to coat.
  5. Place the coated balls in a single layer in an airtight container or on a tray and refrigerate until firm (about 30 minutes). Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

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.
