Ingredients

1 1/2 cups medjool dates
5 drops food grade peppermint essential oil or 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
1/3 cup blanched almonds
1 1/2 Tbsp maple syrup or raw honey
1 1/2 Tbsp cacao powder
1/4 cup desiccated coconut

Instructions

Make the balls. Add all ingredients except the desiccated coconut to a blender and blend until it forms a sticky mixture. Roll the mixture into small balls and coat them in the desiccated coconut.
Allow to chill. Place on a lined baking tray and freeze or refrigerate until firm. Store in the refrigerator.

Notes

It is very important that you use Medjool dates to make these bliss balls. Regular dates are very dry and if you use them the bliss balls will not stick together. Medjool dates are sticky and required for this recipe.
