Delightful bug-shaped coconut date treats with a burst of FANTA Grape - a hit for all!
Ingredients:
  • 500.00 ml FANTA Grape
  • 10 Medjool dates
  • 85.00 gm desiccated coconut, plus 85.00 gm extra to roll
  • 40.00 ml chia seeds
  • 16.80 gm coconut oil
  • 100g pretzel
  • 32 pepitas
Instructions:
  • In a large frying pan, pour FANTA Grape. Bring to a boil over high heat and let it simmer for approximately 8 minutes or until it reduces to 1/4 cup. Transfer the reduction to a small bowl and allow it to cool.
  • Soak dates in a bowl of water for 1 hour to plump them up. After soaking, remove and discard the seeds.
  • Combine dates, FANTA reduction, 1 cup desiccated coconut, chia seeds, and coconut oil in a food processor until mixture is well combined.
  • Spread a generous amount of coconut in a shallow dish. Take level tablespoons of the date mixture and shape them into balls, then roll them in the coconut until fully coated.
  • Gently crush pretzels to create small curved legs. Insert them into the balls for legs and add pepitas for eyes.
