Place the almonds into a food processor and blend until a course flour forms.

Add in the cacao powder and chocolate chips and pulse a few times until the cacao powder is evenly distributed and the chocolate chips are slightly broken up.

Add in the pitted dates and orange extract and process until a sticky, uniform dough forms, scraping down the bowl of your food processor occasionally. You'll know the dough is ready when it sticks together when pinched between your fingers.

Using about 2 tablespoon worth at a time, roll the dough into balls.

Store in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy!
