I can't find Cocoa nibs anywhere. What can I use instead?
Absolutely the most delicious
Absolutely the most delicious balls that I have ever made! Yum! I used medjool dates and didn't worry about the boiling water part. I just depitted them and added them in with the cashews and the walnuts. I only had 120g of walnuts, so I added 30g sunflower seeds. I rolled the balls in cacoa powder rather than the nibs. Thank you for the recipe. Awesome!
