Chocolate Mint (Vegan, GF)

INGREDIENTS

• Candy canes, smashed

• 1 ⅓ cup hazelnut flour

• 2 cups almond flour

• 2 cups medjool dates

• 1 cup cacao powder

• ¼ cup maple syrup

• 5 tbsp coconut oil

• 2 tsp pure vanilla extract

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Add in all ingredients, except crushed candy canes into food processor and process until everything is thoroughly combined and mixture begins to form into a ball.

Scoop out about 1 – 2 tbsp mixture (depending on how large you want your balls to be) from the food processor with your hands and roll into a ball. Roll around in candy cane mixture and place on the serving plate. Repeat with the rest of the mixture (adding more of the crushed candy cane mixture onto the rolling plate as needed).

3. Chill for 10 minutes in the freezer to help the balls firm up quickly, or enjoy them fresh. Store any leftovers in the fridge.
