These chocolate & coconut date energy balls (or bliss balls as they are sometimes known) are the perfect healthy make ahead snack. They are sweet, so tasty and unlike most date balls my version is nut free!
Remove the stones from the dates if they are not already pitted.
Place the sunflower seeds in a food processor and pulse until roughly chopped.
Add the rest of the ingredients and keep pulsing until all the ingredients come together. This can take a few minutes. (You may need to do this in two batches, dependent on your size of food processor)
Mould into ball shapes with your hands. This mixture should make between 13-15 medium sized balls.
Shake some extra desiccated coconut onto a plate and roll the balls in the coconut mixture until evenly covered.
Notes
If the mixture is looking a little dry or will not come together, add a splash of water to the mixture.
