    Further, boil 2 glasses of water in a cooking pot and place this chocolate bowl over it. Within 30 seconds chocolate starts to melt and in 1 minute it melts completely.

  • Divide equally grated coconut into two bowls, one keeps as it is, and mix 4-5 drops of red food colour in the second bowl of grated coconut.
  • Now collect all ingredients near like, date and nuts balls, butter paper muffin cups, a bowl of melted chocolate, two tooth pins, and grated coconut.
  • Insert tooth pin in date and nutball and dip it in melted chocolate, cover melted chocolate all around the date, and nut balls with the help of a spoon.

Notes

1 - You can use dry fruits of your choice.
2 - If you want to use more dry fruits, you should also increase the number of dates, Otherwise the balls will not form properly.
3 - Store it in an airtight container in a refrigerator and remove it 10 minutes before eating.
4 - Place on a parchment-covered sheet and refrigerate until more solidified (because coconut oil can melt or soften at room temperature, you’ll need to keep these refrigerated so they stay together).
