Ingredients (12-15 servings)

- 8 oz. bag Medjool dates (pitted)
- 4 Tbsp. pure pumpkin puree (canned)
- 2 Tbsp. powdered peanut butter
- 3/4 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
- Pinch of salt
Directions
- Place a sheet of parchment paper on a plate or small tray. Set aside.
- In a food processor, crush the pecans. Then pour the crushed pecans in a bowl. Set aside.
- Add the dates to the food processor. Puree until the dates become dough-like.
- Then add the powdered peanut butter, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice and salt. Puree again until all ingredients are well combined.
- Take about a golf ball-size piece of dough and roll it between your hands to create a small 1-inch ball. Roll the ball into the bowl of crushed pecans to coat. Then transfer the ball to the parchment paper.
- Repeat the Step 5 for the remaining dough to create your bliss balls. Enjoy!*
*For best results, chill the bliss balls before serving. The bliss balls will keep in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
