I can't find Cocoa nibs anywhere. What can I use instead?
Absolutely the most delicious balls that I have ever made! Yum! I used medjool dates and didn't worry about the boiling water part. I just depitted them and added them in with the cashews and the walnuts. I only had 120g of walnuts, so I added 30g sunflower seeds. I rolled the balls in cacoa powder rather than the nibs. Thank you for the recipe. Awesome!
Yum. Used sunflower seeds instead of walnuts as that'swhat I hadband coated in dess coconut..
I just made these from the WHOLE cookbook so it was great to see someone had converted the recipe. Deliciousness.

What type/size of dates did you use? I made this and it tasted great but the mixture was so soft and sticky that I had to scoop it out with a spoon and there was no chance of rolling into a bal!!
Absolutely delicious. Love the jaffa taste of orange and chocolate
These were delish!! I accidently put my nibs in them but they were still awesome, next time ill coat them I think they will be even better with that bit of texture on the outside!!!

So delicious and so easy!
