Homemade Yolos {Recipe}

You know when you want something sweet but healthy? This is the perfect item to keep in your freezer for when you need a quick pick-me-up. It is gluten-free and with very little refined sugar. Homemade yolos from Oh She Glows takes very few ingredients and are considered more of a sweet dessert.

The inside is a caramel type texture made of dates and peanut butter while the outside is a dark chocolate and coconut oil shell.

I used my food processor to turn dates into a paste, added natural peanut butter and some salt, and then rolled them into very small balls.  When rolling, make sure your hands are wet to avoid a sticky mess.

Freeze the balls and then cover with the melted chocolate and coconut oil combo.  Freeze again.

Keep the in the freezer for a quick and tasty sweet treat.
