Instructions

Add the pitted dates to a food processor and blend until they form a sticky paste.
Add the walnuts (or almonds), cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the processor. Blend until the mixture is crumbly but holds together when pressed.
If the mixture feels too dry, add 1–2 teaspoons of water and blend again.
Stir in mini chocolate chips, if using.
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball using your hands. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
Chill the brownie bites in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes before serving.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Notes

Feel free to substitute the walnuts with pecans or cashews for a different flavor.
Roll the brownie bites in shredded coconut, crushed nuts, or cocoa powder for added texture and presentation.
To make them nut-free, replace the nuts with sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds.
