We are going to make nut butter balls and for them, you will need soft dates, coconut oil, peanut butter, rolled oats, cacao powder, desiccated coconut, and a pinch of salt. A peanut butter dip, for which we will need peanut butter, water, cinnamon, and syrup. And the elements of our snack platter, we have chosen vegetables, sticks of carrots, sliced apples, nuts and raisins, berries, broken chocolates, and kiwi.

All the above is what will form part of our final snack platter. Keeping in mind the fruits and vegetables are just mere suggestions, you can replace them at your choice. However citrus fruits and nuts go well with our nut butter. Add all ingredients and blend them together, then make small balls with the mix in the palms of your hands. And stick them in hazelnut or coconut pieces. And let them cool in the fridge as you assemble the other elements of the snack platter.
