Ingredients
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup hazelnuts
- 1 cup Medjool dates, pitted
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional for coating)
Instructions
- In a food processor, blend the hazelnuts until finely ground but not pasty.
- Add the pitted dates, cocoa powder, almond flour, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Pulse until the mixture is well combined and sticky.
- With your hands, scoop out about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
- If using, melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave or double boiler. Dip each bliss bomb into the melted chocolate, then place on a parchment-lined tray.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set the chocolate before serving.
Notes
Tip: Adjust sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to your taste preference.
For variations, try adding a pinch of sea salt or a sprinkle of chia seeds for added texture and nutritional benefits. If you prefer a different nut, almonds or walnuts work well too.
Store your bliss bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. They can also be frozen for longer storage; just thaw them in the fridge before enjoying.
