Ingredients:
1 cup rolled oats.
1/2 cup crushed Volti salted peanuts.
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder.
1/4 cup honey or agave syrup (optional: you can use soaked and crushed dates as a natural sweetener).
2 tablespoons peanut butter (you can use Volti sacha inchi peanut butter if you prefer a healthier flavor).
1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
1 pinch of salt (optional, to enhance the flavors).
Shredded coconut or cocoa powder for garnish (optional).
Preparation:
Prepare the base mix:
In a large bowl, combine the oats, crushed Volti salted peanuts, and cocoa powder.
Add the honey (or crushed dates), peanut butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well until all ingredients are combined and form a sticky dough.
Form the balls:
With clean hands, take small portions of the mixture and form walnut-sized balls. If the mixture is too dry, add a little more honey or peanut butter. If it's too wet, add more oats.
Decorate the balls:

Refrigerate:
Place the balls in a container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to compact and make them easier to eat.
