Tips
Instead of melting chocolate you can use cocoa powder mixed with coconut oil to create the chocolate coating. If you don't have a food processor, you can mash the dates and other ingredients together using a fork or potato masher until well combined. Add shredded coconut, chia seeds, or flaxseeds for extra nutrition and texture. Sourced from: Diabetes Australia Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!
