Ingredients
  

1 cup Medjool dates, pitted

1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, plus extra for rolling

1/2 cup raw almonds or walnuts

2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)

1 tablespoon cocoa powder (optional for a chocolate twist)

Instructions
 

Prep the Dates: If your Medjool dates are firm, soak them in warm water for approximately 10 minutes to soften them. After soaking, drain the dates and gently pat them dry with a paper towel.

    Blend Ingredients: In a food processor, combine the softened dates, shredded coconut, almonds or walnuts, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, sea salt, and chia seeds (if using). For a delightful chocolate flavor, add the cocoa powder into the mix.

      Process: Blend the mixture on high until it becomes well combined and sticky. Pause occasionally to scrape down the sides of the food processor bowl, ensuring all ingredients are evenly mixed.

        Form the Bites: Using your hands, take about a tablespoon of the sticky mixture and roll it gently into a ball. Continue this process until all of the mixture is rolled into blissful bites.

          Coat the Bites: Roll each bliss bite in the remaining shredded coconut, ensuring they are evenly coated for a beautiful and cohesive finish.

            Chill: Arrange the coated bliss bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place them in the refrigerator to chill for approximately 30 minutes, allowing them to firm up nicely.

              Serve: Enjoy these nutritious bliss bites as a satisfying snack or a delightful dessert! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where they will stay fresh for up to a week.
