gluten-free dairy-free chocolate orange chia balls

This comes by way of The Tummy Fairy on Facebook---it was one of those reels that Facebook offers from out of nowhere, but it ended up being a good one.

You'll need: 

• 180 g oats
• 2 tablespoons cacao powder
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds
• 1 tablespoon oil
• 15 dates, pitted and soaked in just-boiled water for 15 minutes, then drained
• juice of 2 oranges
• zest of 2 oranges
• 30 g melted dark dairy-free chocolate

Do this: 

In your food processor, process the oats till powdery. Then add the other ingredients except for the dark melted chocolate.

Roll into about 20 balls. I have to wet my hands after every 5 balls or so to keep it from sticking. 

Put on baking paper or a Silpat on a baking sheet and freeze for about 20 minutes, then drizzle with the melted chocolate. It will harden instantly. 

I'm going to give some of these as Christmas gifts this year---they are that good!
