- ¼ cup cacao powder
- 2 tablespoons Ground Flaxseeds

Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to a food processor, and process on high until the mixture starts to stick together.

Notes
- It's best to use fresh dates that are nice and moist. If your dates are a bit dried out, you can either soak them in warm water for 10 minutes, or add 1 to 2 teaspoons of water to the food processor. If you have problems with the energy balls not sticking together, you likely need to add a little bit of water and then blend some more.
- When it comes to peppermint extract, this is my favorite! I think it has the most "real" peppermint flavor.
