Brezelspinnen – gesunde Halloween-Leckereien für Kinder

Zutaten

• 1/4 cup quick oats
• 6 medjool dates (150g, or about 16 regular dates)
• 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey)
• 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter (or almond butter)
• 36 small hard pretzels
• 24 pine nuts

Zubereitung

1. 1

   If you're using regular, dry dates, pour boiling water over them then let stand for 10 minutes. Drain and squeeze out excess water.

2. 2

   Remove the pits from the dates and add all the ingredients into a food processor fitted with a steel blade.

3. 3

   Pulse all the ingredients and mixed and they resemble a coarse 'crumble'. The mixture doesn't have to be completely smooth.

4. 4

   Scoop some dough and roll into small balls.

5. 5

   Cut the pretzels in half and attach as the 'legs'.

6. 6

   Insert the pine nuts ('eyes') into the balls.

7. 7

   Enjoy!
