Chocolate and orange – were two flavours ever meant for each other more. If you’re a fan and fancy a little yummy snack or desert why not give these a go. They’re super quick and easy to make but also yummy using nuts and fruit without the need for additional sources of sugar. I’m sure you could try this with other fruits, particularly citrus fruits like lemon or lime.

175g Dates
150g Almonds
1 tbsp Nut butter of choice
