Recently I attented a birthday party with my children, where I was faced with some of my greatest temptations: cake & chocolate! Since I was abiding by my "ZERO processed, of refined food policy," I had to exercise some MAJOR self-control! It was no easy task, I can assure you!
But once I returned home, I was commited to making something HEALTHY, SWEET and FAST! And that is when I came up with these awesome little guys!!! :) I had done a similar one in the past: see Hazelnut Fiesta, and knew I had tons of recipes pinned at my Pintrest account, but I didn't remember all the ingredients I had used in the past, and I was in no mood for researching it! There was a clear sense of urgency!

So I basically scooped a large spoon of all natural peanut butter (maybe a cup?) inside my ninja pulse, poured what seemed the same amount of pitted majool dates in...and just mixed it all! I had to add a little bit of water to help the blending process go more smoothly!
Once I had this nice sweet dough, I coated my hands with coconut oil and rolled these babies up!
To keep this a complete WHOLE FOOD, I wanted to use just raw cocoa powder to roll these on...but since I didn't have any, I got my (dairy-free, soy-free, whatever else-free) chocolate chips and crushed them up real good! ;)
Then all left to do was roll them on it, and ENJOY!!!! :-D
But they were MUCH better the next day! If you freeze them, they just become absolutely perfect the next day. My husband said he does not need any other dessert in his life! My daughter kept asking, "Did God make this mommy???" LOL because she loved it so much, she wanted to make sure it was a "God-made" health food instead of "Men-made" processed one!
Now if your urgency is greater than mine...feel free to do this:
