Instructions
- Pulverize nuts, dates, cocoa powder, and salt in a food processor until a cohesive, tacky mixture develops, ensuring no large chunks remain.
- Assess the dough’s consistency – if too dry, incorporate additional maple syrup, blending thoroughly to create a moldable texture.
- Carefully fold colorful chocolate candies into the processed mixture, distributing them evenly throughout the brownie base.
- Gently shape the enriched dough into uniform, petite spheres using fingertips, applying light pressure to compact the ingredients.
- For optimal enjoyment, place the crafted bites on a serving plate or transfer to a sealed container, refrigerating to maintain freshness and structural integrity.
- When ready to indulge, retrieve the cosmic brownie bites from the refrigerator and savor the rich, decadent flavors at a cool temperature.
Notes
- Swap ingredients for dietary needs, like using gluten-free oats or vegan chocolate chips to accommodate different nutrition preferences.
- Chill the dough for 15-20 minutes before rolling to make shaping easier and prevent sticky hands during preparation.
- Customize flavor profiles by adding a pinch of sea salt, a dash of espresso powder, or swirling in some almond butter for extra richness and depth.
