CHOCOLATE COVERED COOKIE DOUGH BITES!

1. Cover pitted dates with hot water and let soak for 10 minutes.
2. Meanwhile heat chocolate either in a double boiler or in microwave for 15 second intervals mixing in between. Once melted add 1 tsp coconut oil to chocolate and mix. Should be silky smooth!
3. Drain dates, then In a food processor or blender add the dates, nut butter, pinch of salt, 1 tbsp warm water, vanilla and blend until paste forms. You can add an extra tbsp of warm water if needed.
4. Transfer mixture to a bowl and add oats and chia seeds. Then mix together. Place mixture in freezer for 10-15 minutes. Prepare a plate with parchment paper.
5. Roll about a heaping tbsp sized balls. Then dip in chocolate. Use two forks to remove from chocolate and place on plate. Let them sit for 2 minutes before topping then top with flakey sea salt.
6. Place in freezer for 10-15 minutes to harden and enjoy!
7. I like to store left overs in a Tupperware in freezer. I enjoy them frozen or sometimes I like to let them thaw out of freezer for a couple hours to soften!
