Peanut Butter Date Bites

Ingredients:

1 1/2 c. pitted dates, chopped
1 1/2 c. Crispy rice cereal
1/2 c. Quaker oats
1 tsp. sea salt
5 oz. Peter Pan whipped peanut butter
1/4 c. honey
1 tsp. vanilla
7 oz. 60% dark chocolate
1 Tbs. vegetable oil
4 Tbs. water (give or take)

In a food processor combine the dates, rice cereal, oats, salt, peanut butter, honey and vanilla. Pulse until everything is combined. Add water about 1 Tbs. at a time until it reaches a paste consistency. Using about 1 Tbs. of the mixture, shape into small football shapes. Place on a tinfoil lined baking sheet. When all of the footballs are made, place in the freezer for 1-2 hours. Chop the chocolate up and add to a double boiler that is set at medium heat. Add the oil and continuously stir until all of the chocolate is melted. Turn the heat down to low. Remove the footballs from the freezer and using a spoon, place one at a time in the chocolate mixture, drain some of the chocolate, and then place back on the baking sheet. Repeat for the rest of the footballs. Return back to the freezer for at least 20-30 minutes. Remove from the freezer 15 minutes before serving. (Makes approximately 30 bites, 3 WW points each)
