Servings: 15

Preparation duration: 5 minutes

Cooking duration: 30 minutes

 

Ingredients:

2 T almond milk

1 1/4 cup chocolate chips

10 large medjool dates (soaked for 30 minutes)

1 1/4 cup peanut butter

Equipment:

food processor

baking sheet

toothpicks

double boiler

sauce pan

bowl

Cooking instruction summary:

Drain the dates and rinse. Place them in a food processor and blend until you get a paste. You will probably need to scrape the sides down several times. Once you have a date paste, add in the peanut butter and continue to blend until both ingredients are incorporated. You can add a little salt at this time if you like. I did not add any. Roll the mixture into balls and place on a lined baking sheet. Stick a toothpick into each ball. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 30 minutes. While the balls are in the freezer, make the chocolate.To melt the chocolate use a double boiler. Bring a saucepan to a boil. Place a glass bowl on top of the saucepan. Add the chocolate chips and almond milk to the glass bowl. Gently melt the chocolate and stir often. Once all the chocolate is melted, hold the toothpick and roll each ball into the chocolate. Leave a little bit of peanut butter showing through. Once all the balls are rolled in the chocolate, set them back on the lined baking sheet and stick in the fridge to set. It should not take long.

Food Joke

Four surgeons were taking a coffee break and were discussing their work. The first said, "I think accountants are the easiest to operate on. You open them up and everything inside is numbered." The second said, "I think librarians are the easiest to operate on. You open them up and everything inside is in alphabetical order." The third said, "I like to operate on electricians. You open them up and everything inside is color-coded." The fourth one said, "I like to operate on lawyers. They're heartless spineless, gutless, and their heads and their ass are interchangeable."
