These yummy chocolate rum balls are super easy to make. They’re no-bake, totally paleo, vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free (if you’re okay with a little bit of alcohol in your diet here and there, of course).

They’re sweetened with dates and maple syrup, so they’re a perfect treat for anyone trying to avoid refined sugar and all-purpose flour.
