Cocoa - Dates balls

Dates are very good source of protein, dietary fiber and rich in vitamins. Also have got high iron content. And many more health benefits of eating dates.

It is big worry for each mother to feed their little one something healthy & nutritious. Being a mother of  a little boy, who is fussy eater;  my thoughts always revolve around food items & how to fool  my little one to feed some thing good for his health. The only word which is liked by him is chocolate (chokky). So I have ended up with cocoa-dates balls.

You can have many variety of date balls; like almond date balls, cashew date balls or mixed date balls. Or you can have your own combination.






Ingredients :

Dates  : 2 cups
Sugar : 1- 2 spoons (According to your tatse) (Optional)
Cocoa powder - 2 spoons


Method:
  1. Remove the seeds &  heat in microwave till dates becomes soft.
  2. In a mixer, mix cocoa powder, powdered sugar & dates.
  3. Let it cool for some time & give desired shape.
  4. Decorate & serve.

Note : While preparing dates roll with dry fruits , Just heat de-seeded dates in microwave & roll over the soft dates on powdered dry fruits. Keep it in refrigerator for half an hour & then give desired shape.
