"Nutella" Bites (VF, GF)

How to make it

1. In a food processor, add dates and hazelnuts. Pulse until roughly pureed.

2. Drizzle in hazelnut butter, cocoa powder, sea salt, and vanilla.

3. Puree until a “date dough ball” starts to form.

4. Once totally combined, roll into balls. You can leave it at this point for delicious energy balls. To bring them to ‘truffle’ status, place in freezer for ~1 hour.

5. Melt down dark chocolate, and dip balls one by one with a fork.

6. Keep in fridge for up to 4 days.
