Cook: 0

    A delicious twist on the classic bliss ball, combining cocoa and granola yumminess. Perfect for when you’re craving a sweet treat, or a fun lunchbox filler.

    Ingredients

    • 1/2 cup Medjool or dried dates
    • 1 cup Sanitarium™ Cocoa and Roasted Hazelnut Granola™
    • 2 Tbs cocoa powder
    • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
    • Pinch salt
    • 2 Tbs good quality dark chocolate chips
    • 12 whole hazelnuts

    Method

    1. Step 1

      Soak dates in hot water for about 10 minutes or until softened, then drain.

    2. Step 2

      While the dates are soaking, place granola in a food processor and pulse until crumbly. Don’t overdo it! You want to keep some texture. Remove 1/4 cup of the blitzed granola from the food processor and set this aside. 

    3. Step 3

      Add dates, cocoa powder, vanilla and salt to the food processor and blitz until ingredients start to stick together. Add chocolate chips and pulse until combined.

    4. Step 4

      Remove mix from food processor and roll into bite-sized balls. Press a hazelnut into the centre of each and form the ball around it.

    5. Step 5

      Put the reserved granola in a shallow dish and roll each ball in it to coat. Refrigerate for about 1/2 an hour to set fully.
