3-1/2 Tbsp Cocoa Powder (try to use the good stuff)
4 Tbsp Shredded Unsweetened Coconut
⅛ tsp salt
1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract (I never measure, so pour in what makes you happy)
Water
Method
Combine all ingredients (except water), in the order listed, in the bowl of a food processor.
Process until mixture resembles coarse gravel.
While the processor is running, add a thin stream of water, about ½ tsp, maybe less depending on the moistness of your dates.
Stop the processor and check the mixture inside. If it sticks together when you smush it, then you've got the right consistency. If it's still crumbly, add more water.
You don't want to add too much water because the bites will be too sticky.
When you've got the right consistency, roll mixture into tablespoon-size balls.
Yield varies depending on how much you eat while you're rolling them, you can also roll them in extra shredded coconut.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a week or so, if they last that long.
