I love love love this recipe. I have become lazy and make it squares instead of balls. But it is my go to. I soak my dates and add the coconut oil. Perfect every time. Thank you! We literally just had it for dessert

In reply to Erika. We're so glad you enjoy the matcha chia pudding, Erika. Sorry to hear this one was a miss for you! These definitely are a more rich and chocolaty energy bite, but they shouldn't be unpleasant. Were you using medjool dates or a different type? We're curious if for some reason the sweetness was different! For the method, you definitely can combine all the ingredients at once, but we find the texture is better when done in steps like this.

I’m shocked to say this, but I didn’t find the proportion of cocoa in this recipe to be tasty. Most other energy balls with the same amounts of dates and nuts will use 2 tbsp of cocoa. 6 tbsp was overwhelmingly bitter and I had to add other sweeteners to counter act it.
Also, I’m surprised the steps were so circumspect for minimalist baker! Everything could have been added at once instead of all these in between steps.
This is probably the first recipe from here I’ve had trouble with though. Everything else is always a home run!
Ps try the matcha chia pudding it’s 10/10!
