2. 70 gr. (2.5 ounces) plums.

4. 100 gr. (3.5 ounces) peanuts.
5. 30 gr. (1 ounce) rice cake.
6. 20 gr. (0.7 ounces) dried coconut.

8. ½ teaspoon cinnamon.
9. Juice of half an orange (approximately 50 ml. or 1.7 fl oz).

For the Chocolate Coating:

1. 170 gr. (6 ounces) sugar-free white chocolate.
2. 1 tablespoon vegetable oil.

The Preparation Process

Now, let’s go step by step through the process of creating these delightful Super Energy bites.

Preparing the Plums and Dates

• Start by soaking 70 gr. of plums in cold water for 15 minutes.
• While the plums are soaking, roast 100 gr. of peanuts in a pan until they turn golden brown.
• Grind the roasted peanuts in a blender until you have a fine consistency.
• Set aside 2 tablespoons of the ground peanuts for garnish.
• Add the soaked plums to the blender.

Blending the Ingredients

• Remove the pits from the dates and add them to the blender.
• Add 30 gr. of rice cake and 20 gr. of dried coconut to the blender as well.
• Include 1 teaspoon of ground ginger and ½ teaspoon of cinnamon for added flavor.
• Squeeze the juice of half an orange into the blender (approximately 50 ml. or 1.7 fl oz).
• Blend all these ingredients until you have a well-mixed, dough-like consistency.

Forming the Bites

• Once the mixture is ready, start shaping it into small, bite-sized balls.
• Place these balls on a tray or plate.

Freezing

• Put the tray with the formed balls into the freezer for about 15 minutes. This will help them set and become firmer.

Preparing the Chocolate Coating

• In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 170 gr. of sugar-free white chocolate.
• Stir in 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil until the mixture is smooth and glossy.

Coating the Bites

• Take the frozen balls out of the freezer.
• Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s completely coated.
• Before the chocolate sets, decorate the coated balls with the ground peanuts you set aside earlier.

Final Chilling

• Place the chocolate-coated bites in the refrigerator for another 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden.
