Equipment

1 Food Processor

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups pitted dates* about one 8-ounce bag
1/2 cup quick oats
4 whole sheets graham crackers 8 squares
2 tablespoons chia seeds optional
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
1/4 cup Mallow Bits (dehydrated marshmallows) or mini marshmallows
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
additional crushed graham crackers optional

Instructions

Add the dates, oats, graham crackers, and chia seeds (if using) to a food processor and process until the dates are broken down. The mixture should stick together when you try to form a ball; if it doesn't, add a few more dates or add a drizzle of honey and continue to pulverize until you can roll it into a ball.
1 1/2 cups pitted dates*, 1/2 cup quick oats, 4 whole sheets graham crackers, 2 tablespoons chia seeds
Add the cocoa powder and pulse until combined.
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
Dump the mixture into a mixing bowl and stir in the Mallow Bits and mini chocolate chips.

Roll the mixture into balls and roll into additional graham cracker crumbs, if desired.

Notes

The texture of the dates is really important. If the dates are nice and soft (sort of sticky on the outside), they are great to use as-is! If they're a little more dry, submerge them in boiling water for 10-15 minutes to soften them before using.
