Almond Butter Cacao Bites

Ingredients: 

• 1 cup pitted dates
• 1/2 cup almonds
• 1/3 cup peanut butter
• 1/8 cup cacao powder
• 2 tbsp. maple syrup
• 2 tbsp. hemp seeds
• 1 tsp. sea salt
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/8 cup mini chocolate chips

Method:

1. Add almonds to a food processor and pulse until you get coarse crumbs
2. (Set 2 tbsp. aside to roll the balls in later)
3. Add dates, peanut butter, cacao powder, maple syrup, cinnamon, sea salt and hemp seeds in a food processor
4. Pulse on and off until you get a smooth, thick malleable texture.  The ‘dough’ should come together in a ball.
5. Put mixture into a small mixing bowl and stir in mini chocolate chips.
6. Form into balls and roll in saved ground almonds or more hemp seeds.
7. Set on a tray and refrigerate for 1 hour or freeze for 15 minutes.  Best when cold.
