  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips

  • Place dates in the food processor and pulse a few times.
  • Add the unsweetened cocoa powder, almond butter, dried cherries, vanilla extract, and chocolate chips. Pulse until all of the ingredients are blended together and forms a thick batter. If the batters crumbly and not coming together then add in 1-2 tablespoons of water.
