Instructions
Grind your almonds in a food chopper or processor (a small bullet-type blender will work too). Soak your dates in about 1 tbsp of water (Medjool dates are very soft so they don't have to have this step)
Place everything (from the almond butter to the sea salt) in a bowl and mix well. You can also put them in a food processor to combine
Place your dates and the water they are in into a blender or chopper and chop them up. This should form a type of paste. You can also use date paste if you wish. It's ok if there are small chunks in it
Roll the mixture into small balls, place on a parchment-lined plate, and place in the freezer for 20-25 minutes.
Put dark chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl and melt on 50% heat in 1-minute increments until melted. Be sure to stir it well.
Take the balls out of the freezer. Dip them in the chocolate mixture (I use a fork to lower them in) and place them back on the parchment paper
Roll or "dust" them in the different toppings options and place them back in the fridge or freezer for a few hours. Enjoy!
