Choc Hazelnut Pods

These Choc-Hazelnut Pods are a serious crowd pleaser and taste oh sooo good. I recommend making a batch at the start of the week to keep a healthy treat on hand every time you catch yourself reaching for something a little …too… indulgent.

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup oats, ground

• 1/4 cup hazelnuts

• 2 tbs cacao powder

• 1 cup dry dates, soaked

• 1 tbs maple syrup

• Pana hazelnut chocolate spread or runny nut butter

Method

Add the oats, hazelnuts and cacao powder to a blender and pulse until well combined. Add the dates and maple syrup and blend until the mixture forms together when pressed between your fingers.

Form the mixture into bite-sized balls. With the tip of your finger press a hole into the middle of each ball and scoop about 1/4 tsp of the spread or butter inside.

Place in the refrigerator and consume within a week.
