How to Prepare Chocolate Dipped Date Balls [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Add the nuts, hemp seeds, and oats to your food processor and grind them until they break down into a crumble.
Add the all remaining ingredients, except the chocolate chips, and process them until they take on a dough-like consistency. You may need to add a few splashes of water to get the right texture.
Take a teaspoon, scoop up the mixture and roll into small balls.
Melt the chocolate chips on low heat on the stove. Once the chips are completely melted, allow the mixture to cool a bit. Then dip your balls in. You can roll them in the chocolate completely, or just dip them halfway.
