Equipment
- Food-processor (or blender)
Ingredients
- 1/2 cups Dates
- 1/2 cups Shredded Coconut
- 4 tbsp Peanut Butter
- 1-2 tbsp Chaga extract
- 1 tbsp Raw Cacao Powder
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Part I
- If using dried dates, you may wish to let them soak in warm water for 15 minutes.
- Drain the water and place the dates into a food-processor (or blender)
- Measure out the peanut butter, shredded coconut, chaga extract and raw cacao.
- Add all ingredients to the food-processor, topping it off with a pinch of salt.
- Blend until the consistency is nice and smooth. Make sure to have a taste and and adjust the recipe to your liking.
Part II
- Prepare two plates, one with 2 tbsp of shredded coconut, the second with raw cacao powder.
- Scoop one tablespoon of the mixture into your hands and begin rolling it into a bite-sized ball.
- When happy with its shape, place the ball onto either of the prepared plates, gently rolling it around until it's evenly coated.
Notes
For an added crunch, you can also add some peanuts (or any nut) to the mixture prior to blending.
If you don't have peanut butter handy, feel free to use any kind of nut butter.
It's best to preserve the bites in an air-tight bag/container and keep them refrigerated.
