**Makes 14 bites Ingredients 1 heaping cup pretzels ¼ cup dry roasted peanuts 6 dates 1/3 cup D&D Mamba Original Spicy Peanut Butter 1 tbsp + ½ tsp coconut oil, divided 1/3 cup chocolate chips Steps In a food processor, pulse the pretzels and peanuts until a coarse meal is formed. Remove from the food processor and set aside. Add dates, Mamba peanut butter and 1 tablespoon of coconut oil to the food processor and mix until blended.
