Snowball Energy Bites

Remember those snowball cookies you used to eat every Christmas as a kid? Little chocolate cookies coated in powdered sugar to look like snow?

Yeah me too! To be honest they weren’t my favorite flavor, even though I loved the look. So I decided to recreate them, “Health by Haven-ified”, and I must say, they’re amazing!

Roll these up for your next holiday gathering, or prep a batch to have in the fridge as a healthier dessert or little afternoon pick me up!

Ingredients

  • 1 c medjool dates (make sure they’re really soft!)
  • 1-2 tbs of hot water
  • 1 c walnuts
  • 1/3 c cocoa powder
  • 1/4 c shredded coconut
  • 1/4 c tart cherries
  • Pinch of salt

Directions

  1. Process the medjool dates and hot water in the food processor until blended and sticky paste forms.
  2. Add all other ingredients. Process until well combined, stopping to stir as needed.
  3. If the paste isn’t sticking together, add a bit more hot water.
  4. Form into little balls.
  5. Roll in shredded coconut.
  6. Top with  sprinkle of sea salt or drizzle with melted chocolate. Enjoy!
  7. Pro tip! You can make these multiple ways. Try topping with flaky sea salt or dipping in melted chocolate, too!
