- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

- 2 tablespoons water (if needed)

Notes
Keep in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer. They can be eaten right out of the freezer!
If using Medjool dates, you probably won't need to add water, but if using dry dates, you may need up to 2 tablespoons of water. The mixture should be a little sticky to help the coconut stick.
