Preparation

Step 1

Process dates and hot water in food processor until it is sticky and balls up. Add walnuts, chia seeds and 4 tablespoons of cocoa and pulse until a solid ball forms, about 10 times.

Using a cookie scoop, form dough into 16 balls (about 1-1/2"). Transfer to large plate and chill in fridge about 30-60 minutes. Place remaining 2 teaspoons of cocoa in bowl. Roll the balls in the cocoa until lightly coated; sprinkle with salt. Serve immediately or refrigerate up to 7 days.
