I’m not a big sweets person, but every now and then I really want a sweet treat. These truly tasty 5-ingredient date balls are the perfect indulgence. Bit-sized. Chocolatey. Only clean ingredients.
It took me only about 10 minutes to whip up a batch. All I needed was a food processor, a small cookie sheet, and some patience since I had to put them in the freezer for an hour. That seemed like an eternity since I was so eager to try them. And, they didn’t disappoint.
They were so good that I’m making a second batch to bring to my monthly game night. Maybe their yumminess will distract my competitors. Look, I’ll take any advantage I can get for bragging rights.
