INGREDIENTS:

Ingredients:
240g Medjool Dates (pitted weight, approx 10-12)
30g Rice Krispies
30g Smooth Peanut Butter
30g Fine Dark Cocoa Powder
5g Maca Powder (optional)
15ml Coconut Oil, melted weight
15g Organic Chia Seeds
15g Milled Organic Flaxseed
5ml Pure Vanilla Extract
Pinch of Sea Salt

METHOD OF COOKING:

1. Soak the pitted dates in hot water for 5-10 minutes while you measure out the other ingredients.
2. Once the dates are soft and plump, drain them and add them to a food processor with the melted coconut oil and blend until they form a smooth paste. It should only take 30-45 seconds to do this.
3. Add in the chia seeds, ground flaxseeds, peanut butter, cocoa powder and vanilla extract and blend again. Scrape down the sides to ensure everything is evenly mixed together.
4. Transfer into a bowl and mix in the puffed rice. Roll into tablespoon-sized balls and place onto a greaseproof paper. Then roll each ball in the desiccated coconut and drizzle with melted dark chocolate.  Enjoy!
