Blend until the mixture forms a sticky dough.

Scoop out about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your palms to form a ball. Repeat until all the mixture is used, making about 12 balls. Dip each ball into melted dark chocolate , ensuring it's fully coated.

For variation, roll some of the balls in shredded coconut, some in seed/trail mix, and some in cocoa powder. Place the coated balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and chill them in the refrigerator for at least.
