  5. 80ml maple syrup
  6. 20g cocoa powder or raw cacao powder
  7. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  8. ¼ tsp. Pink Himalayan Rock Salt
  9. 2 tbsp. of water

Directions

  1. Place all ingredients into your food processor and blend until completely smooth. Add more water slowly if necessary to create soft, pliable dough; it shouldn’t be sticky.
  2. Remove from the food processor and roll into 15 balls. Store in a seal tight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to one month. Best served at room temperature.

​Enjoy!
