Makes 12 balls

Ingredients

¾ cup Australian almonds
1/3 cup rolled oats

1. In a food processor blend ¼ cup of the almonds until they are crushed lightly but not over blended. Store separately (this will be used to roll the balls in).

2. In the food processor add the remaining almonds, oats, dates (pits removed), cacao and vanilla extract, and blend for about 30 seconds or until mixture comes together.

3. Add the cacao nibs and almond oil and process briefly.
