Ingredients
1 cup (160 g) almonds
1/2 cup (60 g) oat flour
12 Medjool dates, pitted
6 tablespoons (76 g) healthy cacao spread*

Method
In a food processor, combine almonds, oat flour, dates, cacao powder, chocolate spread, and a pinch of salt. Blend until you reach your desired consistency. For a finer texture, process the almonds into flour before adding the other ingredients.
Once blended to a slightly crumbly but moldable consistency, it's time to shape the mixture into balls. I ended up with 22 pieces. Place the in a fridge foe 15-30 minutes.
To add an exquisite touch, melt some dark chocolate for drizzling or dipping. Garnish with a sprinkle of sea salt and freeze-dried raspberries for that extra flair.
Store leftovers in the fridge in a sealed container.
Notes
ALMONDS: I used raw almonds, but they can be roasted and replaced with other nuts.
DATES: It's important that dates are soft and juicy. Soak your dates in hot water for 15 min if they seem dry.
