1: Reserve some of the water from the dates.
2: In a blender, blitz up the dates, cocoa powder, oats, and peanut butter. Slowly add some of the date water until you get a smooth consistency that holds together. If it’s too wet, add more oats; if too dry, add more date water.
3: Roll the mixture into balls and then flatten to form a thick disc.
4: Make a slight dip in the middle of the disc.
5: Add some melted chocolate to the middle of the disc and top with crushed mini eggs (or keep whole).
6: Refrigerate for 1 hour and enjoy.
