Paleo Chocolate Chip Balls


Paleo chocolate chip balls are perfect for on the go snacking and full of healthy fats.

Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup cashews
  • 1/2 cup almonds
  • 1/4 cup dates
  • 1/4 cup of dark chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
  • 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon coconut butter
Directions:
Combine almond, cashews and dates in a food processor and pulse a few times until they are finely chopped. Add remaining ingredients to the food processor and process about a minute, until the mixture starts to stick.

Transfer mixture  in to a bowl and add chocolate chips into a dish. Roll the mixture into balls using your hands then place in the dish. You can serve them as is or transfer to a parchment lined baking sheet and refrigerate to firm them up a bit. Once refrigerated for about an hour, they can be wrapped up individually for easy snacking. Enjoy!

Note: you can easily swap the peanut butter for your favorite nut butter.
