Cocoa Almond Balls – Almost Ferrero
Ingredients
  • 1/2cup almonds
  • 1/2cup oats
  • 1/2cup cocoa powder
  • 4 datesseeds removed
  • 2tbsp peanut butter
  • 2tbsp honey
  • 1/4cup almonds
  • 1/2cup sultanasor raisins
  • 3 tbsp chocolate chipspreferably non-sweet, otherwise any chocolate chips – it’s only a pinch
Instructions
  1. In a blender, grind the almonds, and then the oats – separately. Combine them with the cocoa powder, and blend until mixed.
  2. Add the dates, peanut butter, and honey. Blend well until the mixture becomes a bit heavy.
  3. Empty into a bowl and add the sultanas and chocolate chips. Blend up the almonds to whatever size you like. (I prefer to leave them a little big – they add a nice crunch). Add them to the bowl and mix in with your hands.
  4. Before rolling each ball, wet your palms. This helps the mixture to bind, since there’s not much honey or dates, which would otherwise do the job.
