- Put parchment paper on baking sheet, then arrange pecans in single layer. Add dollops of the coconut oil onto the baking sheet. Let roast for 8-20mins. After they cool down, crush them to small pieces.
- Place dates in a bowl or jar, pour boiling water over the dates and let them soak for 15mins. Then blitz the dates in a food processor adding in the salt and vanilla. Save the water from the dates to make nut milk, etc.
- Place the date mixture in a bowl, add pecans and nut butter. If adding powdered herbs, do so now. Stir until mixed thoroughly. Form into balls and place in the fridge.
- Now its time to melt the chocolate. In a double boiler, add in 140g of chocolate to melt, once it is completely melted, add in the remaining 60g of chocolate and stir until it is melted.
- Take the balls out of the fridge, coat them with chocolate and place them on the baking sheet. Sprinkle with sea salt, if desired. Place in the fridge.
- It is best to store them in the fridge. Enjoy!
