How to Make Pistachio Peanut Bonbons

Combine 1 cup almond meal, 1 cup chopped prunes, 1/2 cup peanut butter, 1/4 cup maple syrup, and 1/2 cup carob chips in a large bowl. Mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon until well combined.
The mixture will be thick. Ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Place 1/2 cup chopped pistachios in a separate bowl.
Using approximately 1 teaspoon of the prune mixture at a time, roll into small balls between your palms.
Dip one side of each ball into the chopped pistachios, ensuring it's fully coated. Place on a serving dish with the pistachio side up.
Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all the mixture is used.
Serve immediately or cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Refrigerated bonbons will keep for two to three weeks.
Enjoy!
