Servings: 12 bites

Total time: 45 min

FOR THE DOUGH

Ingredients

1 cup roasted peanuts
1 cup pitted dates, soaked in warm water for 10 minutes
pinch of salt

FOR THE filling

Ingredients

1 tsp creamy peanut butter per bite
handful of roasted peanuts
1/2 cup cooked and cooled berries, sweetened with 1 tbsp maple syrup, use 1 tsp per bite

FOR THE chocolate coating

Ingredients

ca. 80g dark chocolate (I used 90%)
1 tsp coconut oil

Instructions

1. In a food processor, blend up the peanuts until they have a floury consistency. Next, add in the soaked dates and pulse until a smooth, sticky batter forms.

2. Roll the batter into balls (about tsp of batter/ball), then place on parchment paper. Use your thumb to press little moulds into each ball so make space for your filling.

3. Fill each bite with about 1 tsp of either creamy peanut butter or stirred berries. Top the peanut butter ones with a few roasted peanuts.

4. Place the bites in the freezer while melting the chocolate in a small metal bowl over a hot with simmering water. Add in the coconut oil and stir in until no clumps of chocolate remain.

5. Dip every bite into the chocolate using a fork and/or spoon, then place back on the parchment paper and top with a pinch of sea salt.

6. Place the bites in your freezer or fridge for one hour, then don't forget to ENJOY each BITE of each BITE!
