1/3 cup gluten-free rolled oats

2 tablespoons cocoa powder
# Steps to Prepare:

03 -
Place the rolled balls into the fridge to firm up for about 15-30 minutes.
04 -

# Extra Cooking Tips:
01 -
If dates are dry, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes and drain well before processing.
02 -
Nut butter options include almond, cashew, or hazelnut butter—ensure they're free of added oil or salt.
03 -
Swap roasted peanuts with almonds, hazelnuts, or cashew nuts for variation or add dark chocolate chunks for texture.
