These are really yummy and make a really great desk snack :) I rolled some of mine in chocolate shavings as well and it was really nice. One thing I noticed though is some batches turn a little oily and more difficult to shape. I make small batches of 10 my first batches were perfect. I was wondering if you might know what I'm doing wrong? Oily or not they are still very tasty! :)
So yummy and sweet
I’m making them for my 39 weeks being pregnant because the jewel dates are also highly recommended to soften the cervix
So this will be a great way to incorporate dates into my diet in a not so boring way ;)
They were good in the first batch we forgot the dark chocolate but even with no dark chocolate it still tasted good really good recipe -Aiden
Delicious! Very rich in flavor, and a perfect snack! -Caitlyn
My 10 year old son made these, with my help. We had a great time together and enjoyed them very much! My little food processor, though, almost overheated, even though we soaked the dates first. Can you make these with oats and maple syrup instead of the dates?
Thought it would be a bit too sweet because of the consistency and the amount of dates but it was just the perfect. Very delicate. I coated a few with both shredded coconut and cocoa powder and it was absolutely divine ! Will definitely prepare it again !
These are so good. I'm on my second batch and I store the in the freezer, and they are delicious after being defrosted too. When rolled in cacao powder they taste like truffles.
Awesome!!!
They are delicious, sticky and chocolatey. Our food processor isn't great, so I had to blitz the dates and nuts and then do the cocoa powder.
Theses recipes are really super easy and that has changed my life drastically. I can indulge on my cravings with healthy alternatives and won’t feel guilty.
I made these for my mom for mother’s day last year. They were really easy to make and she loved them.
Thanks for the great recipe.
These are so incredibly delicious! I can't believe how easy they are to make. I am now obsessed and will be asking everyone to try them. Thank you for the recipe PUL!
Have you tried making them in a Vitamix? I own one, but not a food processor, and definitely want to give them a try!
These are amazing. I never leave reviews on anything but these bites definitely deserve a 5 star rating. I forgot to buy cashews so used almonds instead.
I have been struggling with a sugar addiction, so being able to have my chocolate and sugar cravings satisfied with just one or two of these bites is helping me combat those voices calling for a midnight snack of junk food!
Hi! I was wondering if you can use pitted dates instead of Medjool dates? I read Medjool dates are much sweeter so I'm unsure if substituting will greatly affect the flavour.
Thank you for everything you do! Your recipes provide endless inspiration for me!
Can you please make nutrition info by 100 grams, not by a ball/bite?
I've made these many times since I first tried them out. They always turn out delicious! We usually make a double batch to be able to keep some in the freezer. The adults and kids (ages 5 and 2) in our family love them. Thanks for a great recipe!
These are so good. The perfect little sweet taste with a cup of tea. A hit with the kids. First batch disappeared so have had to make a second batch which is always the sign of a great recipe.
Thank you for this recipe! I finally got a food processor (we live in Belgium, I got the magimix that you work with!) and this is the first recipe I made with it. So exciting!! I had enough ingredients for a double portion. Our kids helped me make them, it was a great activity during quarantine (2 of our 3 kids are covid possible for the moment, symptom-free thankfully) and now we have a healthy treat in the fridge. They can't get over the fact that there's barely any sugar in them :)
We had only walnuts (no cashews) and I didn't soak them, but I did toast them, and it all turned out great. I've been subscribed to your YouTube since years and LOVE your videos and recipes. All the best!
Hi Sadia! I wanted to make these with some friends but they’re allergic to cashews. Would it be possible to sub them for another nut like almonds or pecans? Thanks!
Hi Sadia, can I add protein powder in these?
I love all your recipes and this one was quick and easy!!! Delicious!! Made it with my mom I am 7.
Very delicious! I put some tahini in, its 😋
Love these! Thank you for this recipe. I have made them several times already. This week my boyfriend took a whole batch to his family, who also loved them.
quick question : could i possibly swap out the mejool dates for peanut butter? i am not a huge fan of the flavor of dates D:
Hey Sadia,
Will these be a good idea to send in my kids lunchbox? Or just good to enjoy at home. I am looking to make snacks for his box and would really really appreciate suggestions; esp since the few I checked out in your all suggest refrigerator...thank you.
P.S love love love your blog and have tried many recipes. Will be adding reviews in the days to come
These were delicious! I made a few substitutions: I swapped the cocoa powder with vegan chocolate protein powder, and the raw cashews with raw almonds. The result was a chocolatey fudge goodness nonetheless! They are healthy but definitely don’t taste like it, which is just what I like haha. I’ll definitely be making these again.
I've made this recipe several times, occasionally subbing the walnuts for almonds depending on what I have in my cupboard. Delicious and fudgy, these are a go-to for me. I would definitely recommend.
This looks so good! I was wondering if you've tried a different combination of nuts? The reason I ask is that there is a nut allergy in our family specifically to walnuts and cashews. Would hazelnuts and almonds work? Or maybe pecans and Brazil nuts? I'm really looking forward to trying this (modified) recipe.
I've made these multiple times now! Love 'em! So easy, so yummy and healthy!
My boyfriend, who does not really like dates, loves these too. <3
So easy to make and incredibly delicious!
So good! These are my go to, to satisfy that chocolate cravings.
Love them! My boyfriend and friends love them too! I followed the recipe, maybe 1-2 dates less, and they turned out perfect! I wanted to freeze some, but didn’t get the chance to :)) I also like that they are really quick and easy to do (I am usually slow when cooking.. :) )
Love these as a dessert, snack or a little energy boost on the trails! Always make these when going camping! Love the portability of them! I also love pulsing in some cacao nibs at the end to give them a little crunch! Just another great way to mix up and already delicious snack! Also, rolling in coconut is highly recommended!
I always have a batch of these in the freezer and when I feel like having something sweet I have one of them (sometimes even two!). Just remember to make the balls as soon as the mixture is ready. I once left it on the counter for a few hours and the oils from the nuts separated from the mixture. Totally recommend!!!
Amazing taste and easy healthy recipe 🤩 love it!
These ones are a must! The texture is great and the flavour is just unreal!! My favorite ones are the ones with cocoa powder so yummy
Another great recipe that keeps in the fridge forever and is always there to satisfy the sweet tooth!
I made these for Mother’s Day and they were delicious! My mom loved them! Thank you so much for this great recipe. :)
These are delicious. I have made these several times. Since the dates I use is hard, I soak them first. For the first two tries, the texture became very mushy. So I started to soak and then dry them. It helped with the texture. Also, the texture is better when taken out from fridge/freezer.
Thank you for this recipe! And your new website is amazing. I love the recipe scaling feature.
Made these brownie bites they are delicious will difently do them again and my daughter loves them. Thank you for the recipe.
Gave this recipe a try, it is amazing, the taste and the texture, all of it <3 Definitely a recipe to go with for substituting chocolate sweets.
Gonna grab them for today's hike, thank you so much for the recipe! You make vegan so delicious and fun!
I really liked the idea behind this recipe, and the ingredients were really easy to find! However for some reason the texture was really off? I made sure to use the right proportions and all but it seemed very moussey and liquid, not very fudge/brownie like. Do you know what went wrong?
Lola
I love these chocolate bites!!
Such a wonderful complement to fruits during fika!!!! I completely agree that they’re more tasty when taken out from the freezer, especially the texture.
