One of my favourite and easy go to snack is these energising Peanut Butter Balls. These Date and Peanut Butter Balls are also a favourite of my kids who love to make them in the blender because they are fun to make too.

Instructions
Add the dates to a blender/processor and blend until they form a paste.
Add the remaining ingredients and pulse till combined.
Measure out a tablespoon of mixture and roll into a ball. Continue until all the mixture is used up.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes and gobble up. Store remaining balls in an airtight container in the fridge.
Notes
These date and peanut butter balls keep well in the fridge in an airtight container, for 4-5 days. Remove them from the fridge an hour before you plan on serving them. You can also freeze them in freezer bags for up to 3 months.
If your dates are not soft, you will need to soak them in water for around 10 minutes.
This recipe is one I adapted from a mixture of a Deliciously Ella recipe and a recipe mentioned in the comment section of Minimalist Bakers website - On her Peanut Butter Cup Energy Bites. (I had my binoculars out that day, clearly).
