Instructions

  • Place dates in a medium bowl and cover with warm water. Let soak for 5 minutes to soften then drain.
  • Add drained dates and all remaining ingredients into a food processor and pulse until mixture turns into the consistency of sand. (Depending on your food processor, this could take several minutes so don't worry if it doesn't happen right away!)
  • Remove blade from the unit and place mixture in a medium bowl. Carefully stir in the creamy peanut butter until evenly incorporated. 
  • To form balls, press mixture into a small stainless steel scoop then roll in between your palms to form evenly sized bites. Continue until mixture is gone. Refrigerate until you're ready to eat.
