Peanut Butter Brownie Balls

¾ cup IIHF almonds

1 tbsp true cacao powder

12 pitted dates

2 tbsp peanut butter

1-2 tbsp agave syrup (if using fresh medjool dates, you will probably only need a tiny amount of agave syrup – or none at all!)

1. Place the dates, cacao powder and peanut butter into a food processor. Blend until the mixture resembles a paste.
2. Add the almonds and pulse until as chunky or smooth as required (be careful not to over-blend as the mixture will become too liquid).
3. If your mixture is too dry, add 1 tbsp of agave syrup, then pulse to mix through. If it is still too dry add another tablespoon and pulse again. The mixture should be a little sticky and roll easily into balls.
4. Using your hand, shape the mixture into tablespoon-sized balls.
5. For best results store in an airtight container in the fridge and eat within a week – if they last that long!
