Prep 10 min · Cook 10 min

Place the pitted dates, chopped dark chocolate, salt, and vanilla extract in a food processor. Pulse several times until the dates and chocolate are broken into small bits, about the size of a pea. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula.
Add the protein powder and most of the water. Pulse until the mixture looks sandy. Continue to pulse while adding the remaining water one teaspoon at a time. Stop as soon as the mixture clumps together and holds its shape when squeezed with your fingers. Do not overprocess or it will become gummy.
Scoop the mixture into 6 even portions and roll them between your palms into balls. Place the bites on a plate and chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to firm up. Done when firm to the touch.
