Ferrero Rocher Bliss Balls

Method

• Add the 1/2 cup of hazelnuts, nuts of your choice and rolled oats to a blender and pulse until you get a coarse texture.
• Add the dates, nut butter, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, salt and maple syrup (if using) to the blender and blend until a doughy texture starts to form.
• Take 1-2 tablespoons of mixture and press 1 of the whole hazelnuts into the centre.
• Press and roll the mixture into a ball. (The mixture is coarse so you will need to press tightly)
• Repeat until you have made 8-10 balls.
• Place formed balls into a container lined with baking paper and pop them in the freezer for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile break up the dark chocolate squares and place into a microwave safe bowl.
• Microwave in 15-20 second increments and stir until the chocolate has melted.
• Remove the bliss balls from freezer and dip into the melted chocolate.
• Place chocolate coated balls back into the lined container and freeze for a further 5 minutes or until the chocolate has set.
• Enjoy!
