3/4 cup date paste (150g)
1/4 cup cocoa powder (25g)

NUTRITIONAL INFO (per ball):
109 calories, fat 5.5g, carb 13.6g, protein 2.5g
Preparation:
Place the oats and coffee in a small bowl. Soak the oats for at least ten minutes.
In a large bowl add the date paste, cocoa powder, desiccated coconut, peanut butter, rum, soaked oats and vanilla.
Mix with hand until well combined and sticky dough is formed. Place in the fridge to chill for 30 minutes.
Using a tablespoon scoop the dough, place the whole hazelnut in the middle, then roll over the nut, forming a small ball.

I just made them. I had to double the recipe even though I live alone and won't be sharing them. I made my own date paste, which is super easy. They turned out delicious!

Wait! I just realized that they will hold *more* alcohol if the oats are moistened with rum or vodka or Kahlua instead of coffee 🙂

Yes I do! Just toast them in the oven for 15 minutes and wrap in a kitchen towel to steam for 1 minute., the skin will peel off easily. Happy Holidays!
