250g fresh dates, deseeded (eg. Medjool dates) 🌱

1 Tbsp vanilla extract

This is one of Jo Whitton's recipes from Quirky Cooking.
Method
- Grind up raw cacao nibs in Thermomix on speed 9 for 15-20 seconds, or until fine.
- Add dates, sea salt, vanilla extract and grind on speed 8 for 5 seconds, until dates are chopped up.
- Add walnuts and grind on speed 9 for about 1 minute, or until mixture comes together and is smooth. You could also use pecans if you'd rather.
- If you like these smooth, go ahead and roll them into balls. If you like them with a bit of 'crunch', add the extra walnuts and raw cacao nibs and mix on speed 5 for a few seconds, until roughly chopped.
- Roll into balls and keep in the fridge.
