Cocoa and Orange Oat Snack Balls

Method

Make it happen

1. 01

   If dates are firm, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes then drain thoroughly. Pulse the dates in a food processor until roughly chopped.

2. 02

   Add oats, nut butter, salt and the listed flavour ingredients. Pulse until the mixture holds together when squeezed; add 1 tbsp water only if too dry.

3. 03

   Add the orange zest, cocoa and dark chocolate before the final pulse.

4. 04

   With clean hands shape into 12 evenly sized balls, pressing firmly so they hold. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving; keep chilled in an airtight container.
