Ingredients

1 cup roasted and salted almonds
1 cup medjool dates (pitted) about 12 dates
1/4 cup cacao or cocoa powder
2 tbsp real maple syrup
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

In a food processor or high powered blender, pulse the almonds until they are ground. Now add the remaining ingredients (except chocolate chips, if using), continue pulsing until a dough forms. Now add in chocolate chips. You may have to stop several times and scrape the bowl with a spatula.
Remove the dough, and using an ice cream scoop or spoon, form into 1 inch balls.
Refrigerate for about an hour. Store in an air tight container in the fridge, or at room temperature.
