Step 1: Add walnuts to a food processor or blender and pulse until well chopped.

Step 2: Add pitted dates and pulse again until mixed well.

Step 3: Add the cacao powder, shredded coconut, peppermint extract, and almond milk. Pulse until combined. 

• Add 1 more tbsp of milk, if needed (you should be able to roll into balls easily). 
• Add a little more peppermint extract if you want an extra minty flavor.

Step 4: Scrape the batter out of the food processor or blender into a medium-sized bowl with a spatula and add remaining shredded coconut to a separate small plate or bowl. 

Step 5: Form batter into 1″ balls, then roll each ball in the plate/bowl of shredded coconut to coat.

Step 6: Place balls into an airtight container and keep refrigerated.
