These little balls do more than just taste good. Dates give quick energy, tahini and coconut slow it down, and cocoa makes the whole thing feel like a treat. They take 10 minutes, live in the freezer, and are exactly what you reach for when kids (or you) need a quick lift without turning into snack gremlins.
