Ingredients You’ll Need for Making Vegan Hot Chocolate Bliss Balls:

• 1 cup oats, gluten-free
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon hemp hearts
• 1 tablespoon flax seeds
• 4 tablespoons coconut cloud hot chocolate mix with MCT
• 20 dates
• 2 tablespoon nut butter of your choice(I use almond butter)
• dash of water

For the coconut flakes:

• 1/2 cup coconut flakes, divided
• beet powder

Easy Step-by-Step Directions to Make Hot Chocolate Bliss Balls:

1. Take 1/2 cup of coconut flakes and divide between two bowls. Add beet powder to flakes, until you have a light pink in one bowl, and deep pink in the other. Then, set aside. 
2. Put the oats, vanilla extract, hemp hearts, flax seeds, hot chocolate powder, dates and nut butter in a blender or food processor. Blend the ingredients just until the mix is combined very well. There’s no need to overmix. Then, add a little bit of water until the batter makes a good consistency for rolling dough. Hand roll into the mix into  balls. They shouldn’t be too big, or too small. Then take half of them and roll them in the deep pink beet-colored coconut flakes. Take the other half and roll them in the lighter colored coconut flakes.
