Notes
If the mixture is too dry add a few tablespoons of coconut oil or water and stir to combine. Add 1-2 tablespoons at a time, add more if required while combining the mixture.
If the mixture is too wet to make the balls, mix in a little desiccated coconut or oats flour.
Too much cocoa powder imparts a bitter taste so ensure not to add too much.
Ensure the peanut butter is of runny consistency. If it's thick then microwave for a minute stirring in between to loosen it a bit.
Taste the mixture and add maple syrup if necessary.
