Method
- Take any stones out of the dates. If they feel firm, soak them in hot water for 5 minutes and drain well.
- Blitz the dates in a food processor to a sticky paste, or chop them very finely and mash with a fork.
- Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces.
- Mix the date paste, oats, peanut butter and chocolate in a bowl until it clumps when squeezed. If it is too crumbly, work in a teaspoon of water.
- With damp hands, roll the mixture into about 12 walnut-sized balls.
- Chill for at least 20 minutes until firm. Store in a lidded tub in the fridge for up to a week.
Tip If your dates are small and dry, weigh them rather than counting. The weight is what holds the bites together.
