Directions

Combine dates, tahini, salt and maca powder in a food processor and puree until mixture forms a sticky ball.
Scrape onto a square of cling wrap, roll into a log and drop into a piping bag (a la this method).
Pipe balls of the mixture onto a wax paper-lined cookie sheet and freeze until solid.
Melt chocolate in a double boiler or the microwave and dip caramel centres to coat.
Store in the fridge.
