Start by using a food processor, not a blender.

Add 100 grams of almonds or walnuts (or seeds if allergic) to the food processor.

Add a pinch of ground coffee (optional) and 3 tablespoons of cacao powder.

Add a pinch of salt and blend until it reaches a breadcrumb-like texture.

If desired, leave the nuts a little coarse for texture or blend until fine.

Add 200 grams of pitted dates to the mixture.

Add 3 tablespoons of peanut butter (or almond butter/tahini if allergic to nuts).

Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of water to help the mixture come together.

Blend until the mixture forms a ball and holds its shape like cookie dough.

If the mixture isn't coming together, add a tiny bit more water.

Shape the mixture into a ball and place it on a lined baking tray.

Fold the mixture over and flatten it out using a rolling pin for a smooth edge.

Coat the brownie bites in melted dark chocolate (54% cocoa solids or higher).

Decorate with sea salt, freeze-dried raspberry, rose petals, coconut, and pistachio as desired.

Transfer the decorated brownie bites to the fridge for 20 minutes to set.

After 15 minutes, trim any excess chocolate around the edges for a cleaner presentation.
