Chocolate candies
Description
For chocolate candies, you only need three ingredients: dates, granola, and dark chocolate. As for how to decorate these candies, let your imagination run wild. I suggest options like dipping them in chocolate glaze, melted chocolate, rolling in ground nuts or crushed cookies, sesame seeds, coconut flakes, cocoa powder, or drizzling with a white chocolate lattice. Any option will work well. Choose your favorite granola—I used one with forest berries.

Step 6
Roll the candies into balls by hand; they shape very easily and hardly stick to your hands. Each candy should weigh 15 grams. Place them in the refrigerator for 30 minutes—during this time, the candies will become even denser.

For the glaze, melt the butter with a tablespoon of water. Bring to a boil, add the glaze powder, and mix.
