20 fresh dates (pitted)
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 cup cold pressed coconut oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
dark chocolate (at least 70%)
1 tablespoon gingerbread spices
small wooden skewers
Put the dates in a blender together with salt, coconut oil, vanilla and gingerbread spice. Mix until everything is shiny and comes together like a dough, it may take a little longer than you think.
Then roll the batter into small balls. Melt the chocolate over a water bath. Put a stick in each ball and then dip each one in the chocolate. Place the sticks in a glass until the chocolate has completely cooled.
Remove the sticks from the balls. Congratulations, you are now ready for the first Advent!
For other seasons – dare to flavor with, for example, cardamom, licorice powder or grated lemon peel.
