Holy cow these are good! The only substitution I made was to use peanut butter in place of the almond butter. Absolutely delectable! Sadly, the nutrition count is way off because it's not adding in the chia seeds, protein powder, or agave. The actual calories are about twice what is listed. Still...who cares? Yum!

Oh, my, how good are these - ! I used plain rice protein powder, 2 tablespoons honey and two maple syrup and real vanilla - had to omit the almond extract because I had none. These are so good, I'll definitely make them again often. Thanks for sharing this glorious healthy, tasty snack!!<br/>Made for Healthy Choices ABC.

Oh wow, these were sooooooooo good! Moist, fudgy, chocolatey and super delish! YUM!<br/>I could not find chia seeds, but really wanted to try these, so I just used lightly ground flax seeds and oats in place of the seeds and that worked out very nicely. :)<br/>I also used half carob powder in place of the cocoa, which added a nice nutty roasty flavour.<br/>THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this amazing snack here with us, Magpie! I cant wait to make these again! <br/>Made and reviewed for Veggie Swap #32 March 2011.

Yum, delicious! I used sunflower seed butter in place of tahini. I didn't have coconut oil, so I used olive oil. I only had sweetened coconut, so I cut the amount in half. And I guess I rolled the orbs smaller, because I ended up with nearly double. The dough was a little sticky so I refrigerated for 15 minutes before rolling into balls. Nice chocolately depth to these, which is always a plus! Thanks for a great snack!
