Date chocolate balls – a recipe for homemade, delicious, sweet and at the same time healthy.
Dates are the fruits of the date palm, typical of North Africa and the Middle East, whose fruits are dried for the most part in the sun. They are rich in fibres and many vitamins and minerals such as potassium, iron, phosphorus, calcium and vitamins A and B.
The taste of aromatic dates is complemented by two other healthy ingredients rich in nutrients – raw almonds and coconut oil.
The balls are wrapped in a thin layer of dark chocolate, which makes them irresistible in appearance and even more irresistible in taste.
The chocolate balls are the perfect dose of sweetness and energy for everyone.
