We will introduce you the Hazlnut and Dates Bliss Balls prepared from Sunshine Bites

Ingredients

200g (about 10) fresh medjool dates,

Pitted 80g

1/2 cup hazelnuts

2 heaped tbsp nut butter (hazelnut)

1.5 tbsp cocoa powder,

Good quality 2 tbsp raw honey

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Place the hazelnuts on a baking tray and place into the oven for 10 minutes, giving them a toss half way.

Remove from the oven and once cool rub them in a bit of kitchen towel to remove most of the skins. Place the hazelnuts in a food processor and blitz for 10-20 seconds until finely chopped.

Add all the remaining ingredients and blitz until the dates have broken down and the mixture is starting to stick together.

Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop and roll into balls. Wet your hands a little if it gets too sticky. Eat straight away or keep in an air tight container for 5-7 days!
