Ingredients

1 cup raw walnuts (I used Lucky Eats Raw Walnuts)

¼ cup hemp hearts (I used Manitoba Harvest Hemp Hearts)

Instructions

Add the walnuts to a food processor and pulse until they are the consistency of a coarse meal.
Add the dates and oat bran and process until almost smooth. Break up large chunks of date with a spatula.
Add the chocolate chips and process until they are broken into small pieces.
Roll the mixture into balls (makes about 8-10).
Pour the hemp hearts onto a small plate and roll the balls in it until evenly coated.
Refrigerate for an hour or two before serving.
