Grain Free - Paleo Chocolate Date Balls

When I figured out that refined sugar bothered me, I took out alot of sweeteners. Maple syrup, honey, coconut sugar and agave syrup were better but I still got a little sick. Dates were the only thing at first that did not make me sick. I made these all the time! They carried me through that time. Now I can handle maple syrup in small amounts and a little honey and coconut sugar.

I still make these often, they are so good! I always have a hard time not eating a bunch at a time.
