Ingredients
Method
Step 1
Soak dates in hot water for about 10 minutes or until softened, then drain.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.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.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.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.
