Ingredients
  1. 240g (1.5 cups) pitted dates, soaked in hot water for 20 minutes to soften
  2. 4 tbsp cacao powder or Cadbury's Bournville cocoa powder
  3. 3 tbsp unsweetened desiccated coconut
  4. 1 tbsp coconut oil at room temp.
  5. 1 tbsp peanut butter (any nut or seed butter can be used instead)
  6. 1 tbsp chia seeds
  7. 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  8. 100g unsalted peanuts (use hazelnut pieces, coconut flakes, cacao powder, chia or sesame seeds as an alternative)
Instructions
  1. Place the soaked and drained dates in a food processor and add the cacao powder, coconut, coconut oil, peanut butter, chia seeds and vanilla extract.
  2. Blend until all ingredients are well combined and a thick dough is formed. It should stick together between your fingers. If it's too wet, add a little more cacao powder and if it's too dry, add a splash of water.
  3. Use the palms of your hands to roll the dough into even balls.
  4. Place the peanuts into a blender or food processor and process for about 60 seconds until they're broken into course, crumbly pieces.
  5. Place the peanut pieces in a bowl and roll each bliss ball in them, coating them evenly.
  6. When each ball has been coated, place them in the fridge to chill for 20-30 minutes, then serve.
Notes
  1. Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
