Guilt-Free Chocolate Peanut Date Bites in 10 Minutes

Start by ensuring the dates are pitted and soft. If they’re a bit firm, you can soak them in warm water for about 10 minutes to soften them up.

Blend the Dates and Peanuts
Place the pitted dates and toasted peanuts into a food processor. Pulse until everything is well combined and forms a sticky mixture. You want the dates to break down and bind with the peanuts, creating a dough-like consistency.

Add Cocoa Powder
Add the unsweetened cocoa powder to the mixture and pulse again to incorporate it evenly. The cocoa will give the mixture a rich chocolate flavor without the added sugar.

Form the Bites
Scoop out small amounts of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls with your hands. If the mixture is too sticky, lightly dampen your hands with water to make it easier to roll.

Serve or Store
Enjoy the bites immediately or refrigerate them for about 10 minutes to firm up. These bites can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
