INGREDIENTS
200 g of dates (without pits)
100 ml water
250 ml of oatmeal
1 tbsp of cocoa (the bitter kind)
1 tbsp of cocoa (the sweet, kids-friendly kind)
1 tbsp rum essence
100g shredded coconut (as fine grained as possible for best results)
Blend dates and water in a blender or food processor. Alternatively chop very very finely and mix with water after.
In a bowl, mix in the cocoa, rum essence and oatmeal into the dates (no need for a hand mixer, just mix it with a spoon).
Roll the mix into balls in your hands and roll in coconut (or additional cocoa, or crushed pistachios or whatever you want actually) for a kid-hand-friendly coating.
Refrigerate for 15-20 min before serving. Store in an airtight container.
