Instructions
1
Prep
Soak 116g pitted Medjool dates in room-temperature water for 10 minutes, drain. Measure 80g raw walnut halves, 22g raw cacao powder, 10g chia seeds, 0.5 tsp vanilla extract, pinch fine sea salt, and 8g extra raw cacao powder for rolling.

Build
In a food processor, pulse raw walnuts 4–6 times over medium speed until coarsely chopped with texture remaining, about 20 seconds. Add soaked dates, cacao powder, chia seeds, vanilla, and sea salt.

Build 2
Blend on medium speed for 45–60 seconds until a thick, sticky dough forms—keep processing short to preserve raw quality. Scrape sides and pulse 8 seconds more until fully incorporated and cohesive.
4
Finish
Scoop mixture into 6 bites of roughly 38g each, rolling firmly between your palms so they hold shape. Roll each bite in extra raw cacao to coat lightly, then place on a lined tray.
5
Rest
Refrigerate on the lined tray for at least 30 minutes until fully firmed and no longer tacky to touch.
6
Plate
Portion 3 bites into each of 2 airtight containers. Refrigerate up to 5 days or freeze up to 60 days. Serve at the table with fresh raspberries or cherries alongside for brightness.
