How to Prepare Chocolate-Covered Apricot Ginger Energy Balls [Vegan]

For the Energy Balls:

  1. Add all ingredients to a food processor and process until you get a sticky crumbly mix.
  2. Scoop out about 2 tablespoons at a time and roll into balls between the palms of your hands.
  3. Chill the balls in the fridge as you prepare the chocolate coating

For the Chocolate Coating:

  1. If coconut oil is solid, melt it in a small pot over low heat.
  2. Remove from heat and mix it with cacao powder until no lumps remain.
  3. Pour in maple syrup (start with 3 tbsp and add more if needed) and pink salt and stir to evenly combine

To Assemble:

  1. Take out the energy balls from the fridge, dip them in the chocolate coating and place on a parchment paper.
  2. Repeat the process once more if desired for a thicker chocolate coating.
  3. Place in the fridge for around 15 minutes for the chocolate to set.
  4. Enjoy and store leftovers in the fridge for 1-2 weeks. You can also freeze them in an airtight container for long-term storage
