COCONUT DATE BALLS
These coconut date balls have been an absolute favourite snack in my household during Ramadan. They are packed full of nutritional ingredients such as dates, nuts and oats and then coated with shredded coconut. They make for the perfect post taraweeh treat or even to open iftar with. Super easy, quick, nutritious, and there’s no baking involved (result!) Dad absolutely loved these, Alhamdulillah ✨

- 150 g Milk or Dark chocolate

- 2 cups Sukhree dates soaked in warm water
