Chocolate Peanut Butter Snack Balls
Snack balls are one of my favorite treats to make with my kids! These 4 ingredient chocolate peanut butter snack balls are naturally sweetened with dates, and taste like such a treat!
Ingredients
- 3 cups pitted dates (soak in water for 1 hour ahead of time if your dates seem dry)
- 2.5 cups dry roasted peanuts
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- pinch of sea salt
- 2-4 tbsp water
Instructions
- In a food processor, add the dates and pulse until the dates are broken into pieces and beginning to turn into a paste. You may need to scrape down the sides a few times if the dates get stuck on the blades.
- Add the peanuts and pulse until the peanuts are broken down into small bits.
- Add the cocoa powder, vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt and pulse until combined.
- Add 2 tbsp water and continue to pulse until the mixtures starts to come together. Add up to 2 tbsp more of water.
- Remove from the food processor base and begin to roll snack balls out by the heaping 2 tablespoonfuls. Store in the fridge in a sealed container.
Notes
This makes a large amount of date balls. Simply cut the recipe in half for an amount that is easier to process in the food processor.
