01 - Combine pitted Medjool dates and rolled oats in a food processor. Pulse until a coarse, sticky mixture forms.
02 - Add creamy peanut butter, unsweetened cocoa powder, honey or maple syrup, and a pinch of sea salt to the processor. Process until the dough begins to come together.
03 - Transfer the mixture into a mixing bowl. Fold in the roughly chopped roasted peanuts and mini dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
04 - Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture. Roll firmly between your hands to form smooth balls.
05 - Place the energy balls on a tray lined with parchment paper. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to firm up.
