Prep Time: 30 minutes

Method

• Whizz up the almonds in your food processor to break them up into small pieces.
• Add 15 of the dates and 1 tbsp cacao powder. Process until sticky dough is formed.
• Remove the mixture from your processor and put in the freezer for 15 minutes to harden up a bit.
• Soak the remaining dates in boiled water for 5 minutes to soften.
• Drain them, keeping a drop of the water and then using a hand blender, blend them up until smooth.
• Add the almond butter and optional vanilla powder. Give it a good mix.
• Get the mixture out of the freezer and roll into small balls, then flatten out.
• Put a dollop of the caramel mixture in the middle and fold the sides up around it.
• Make a lid with another bit of the ‘dough’ and put it on top of the caramel.
• Gently smooth it around and roll into balls using your hands.
• Repeat until you have used everything up.
• Put back in the freezer for an hour.
• Melt the coconut oil on a low heat. Using the maple syrup, 3 tbsp cacao and coconut oil, mix it all up to make chocolate.
• Take your balls out of the freezer and coat them in the chocolate.
• Put back in the freezer for 5 minutes for the outside chocolate to set.
