My new sugar-free sweet addiction

Dates + almonds + cocoa + chia seeds

There has to be a bit of sweet stuff in a sugar-free life, right? ;) Well, since I love Nakd Cocoa Delight bars, when I saw a recipe with the same ingredients on Wag Doll’s blog, I tried it out straight away.

Verdict – I love them so much that I cannot make them very often because they bring out the old sweet binger in me (I had 5 of them for dinner tonight :|). That sort of sucks that they make me eat too many of them at a time, but I’d rather overdo on dates and almonds than chocolate!

Anyway, ingredients are easy:

130g pitted dates
130g almonds
20g cocoa
1tsp vanilla extract
1-2 tbsp chia seeds (just because I like to chuck these babies into as many foods as possible)
water (just enough to bind everything together

- Chuck everything but chia seeds and water into a food processor, then add the seeds + water and make into little balls and cool them in the fridge. Or eat with a spoon on the spot.

If you love real chocolate, you’re probably not going to love them as much as I do, but if you’re a health freak like I am, you WILL love them ;)

  1. well, I’m a chocolate freak, but also almonds-nuts-seeds freak and a health freak too! Sounds perfect to me, so I’ll have to make these babies. I’ve made similar balls of peanut butter and raisins ecc before and … YUM! :)

  2. Looks absolutely yummy! Bornali (formally Planethalder).
