This is a fun dessert to make with your child. My daughter and I love making these. But, it is even better eating them! I have already posted something similar to this (click here for Super Food Snow Balls), but I just changed it up a bit.
Some people don’t like dates, but if you combine them with nuts, chocolate, coconut, and some raw agave, it tastes something like a tootsie roll! …just a little less chewy.
This is an awesome snack to give to your children (way better than cookies and candy) because it is just so healthy! It is packed with antioxidants, protein, iron, essential amino acids, vitamin A, B, B2, B 12, E, K, omega 3 fatty acids, phosphorous, carotenoids, magnesium, flavanols, polyphenols, and much more!
Try them! Have your kids try them! They will love them!
My daughter keeps eating instead of making....haha
