Notes:

• Chop the nuts into small pieces.
• You can use any nuts and dry fruits like almonds, apricot, cherries,pistachio.
• I used 11/2 tbsp of cocoa powder, but you can add up to 2 tbsp of cocoa powder for strong flavor.
• If the dates is very hard to process in blender/mixie, soak it in a tbsp of hot water for 15 mins.
• Instead of coconut flakes, you can use the cocoa powder also for rolling the balls to make it more chocolaty.
