- 2 tablespoons dark cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons coconut butter
- 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract

Instructions
- Break down your dates. Place the dates in a food processor and pulse a few times until broken down into pieces.

- Roll in shredded coconut. Add shredded coconut to a small bowl and roll each energy ball in it, coating the outside.
- Let chill. Place in the fridge for 5-10 minutes to harden if desired.
