INSTRUCTIONS
Start by putting the almonds and coconut flakes in a food processor or blender until a flour starts to form, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the cashew butter, coconut oil and cacao blending for a few seconds before slowly adding the dates. Continue to blend until everything has been combined together to form a sticky mixture.
Roll the mixture into bite size balls. Eat immediately or let firm up in the refrigerator for an hour if desired. Enjoy!
