Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Brownie Dough “Truffles”

In the bowl of a food processor, process the peanuts until finely crumbled—mixture will resemble coarse sand. Remove from food processor bowl and set aside.

Place dates in the food processor bowl and blend until sticky clumps from. Add in the cocoa powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract and blend until a thick paste forms. Add the ground nuts to the date paste and process until the mixture comes together to form a crumbly “dough.”

Add in the chopped chocolate chips and pulse until incorporated. Remove mixture from food processor, making sure to scrape the sides of the bowl.

Form mixture into a large ball, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for about 5-10 minutes. When the dough has chilled for a bit, take it out of the fridge and roll into 12 balls.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
