In a bowl add dates, cover with boiling water and leave to soak for 20 minutes.
To a blender or food processor add oats, cacao powder, chocolate protein powder, soaked dates, some of the water used to soak dates and peanut butter. Blend until all combined.
Use damp hands to roll a heaped tbsp amount of the mixture into balls. Roll in desiccated coconut and store in the fridge - they last about a week!
