NUTRITIONAL INFO:
These nutritional values are provided as a guide only and may be different depending on your ingredients and measurements.
- Use soft Medjool dates for the best fudgy texture. If your dates are dry, soak them in hot water first.
- Chill the brownie bites before dipping them in chocolate for a smoother coating.
- If the mixture feels too dry, add a little extra nut butter. If it's too sticky, add more cocoa powder.
- A sprinkle of flaky sea salt makes the chocolate flavour pop.
- Store in the fridge for a firmer texture, or enjoy straight from the freezer for a truffle-like treat.
- Swap the peanut butter for almond, cashew, or sunflower seed butter if preferred.
- Add chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or a pinch of espresso powder for extra flavour.
- These brownie bites freeze well, making them perfect for meal prep and chocolate cravings.
