'Nutella' Bites

Ingredients

2 cups roasted hazelnuts (if not bought roasted, roast raw hazelnuts in the oven for 15-20mins. If skins are still on, rub between hands or paper towel to remove)

1.5 cups fresh organic or medjool dates

5-6tbsp raw organic cacao (depending on how chocolatey you like them)

2tbsp chia seeds

1sp-1tbsp water

Method

• Place hazelnuts into blender and blend until smooth. Add dates & blend again until evenly mixed

• Add chia seeds & cacao and blend again.

• Start with 1tsp of water and depending on how stick your mixture is, you may need to add more water.

• The mixture should stick together when you grab a small amount and roll it in your palms

• If you want mini 'nutella' balls- measure out 15g each ball, If you want a snack sized ball, measure out around 30-40g.

Keep refrigerated, as this will keep them lasting the longest! You can also freeze them- they will become harder, a little more chewy & delicious as a sweet treat or a chocolatey dessert!
