Lastly, we need to add moisture to bring it all together. You can either use a banana, water, or a little bit of both. Start by adding a half the banana & blend until it comes together. If needed, add more banana and/or water. Once the texture is as desired, shape dough into 10-12 balls.

Top with melted dark chocolate & sea salt. If you’d like, you can add nut butter or coconut oil to your melted chocolate to make it runnier. Enjoy them fresh or freeze/ refrigerate then enjoy!!
