Linden Seed Chocolate Energy Balls

Chocolate made from the beautiful Linden Tree for a perfect Summer pick me up!

What you need for this recipe are the seeds of the Linden or Lime Tree once the tree has finished flowering.

It would take a LOT of seeds to make a decent bar sized chocolate substitute so I contented myself with a small amount and made energy balls!
