This was a little Oh my goodness I have a sweet tooth and I must have something right now! concoction.
Shredded coconut
Dates
Cacao nibs
1 tbls almond butter
1 tbls raw honey (you can use any sweetener of your choice)
dash of salt
1 tsp vanilla
Combine all into a food processor, except cacao nibs, until well mixed. Then stir in the cacao nibs by hand.
—-or —–
If you don’t have a food processor (or don’t just don’t feel like pulling it out) chop the dates by hand and then stir all ingredients up in a big bowl.
Once mixed either by hand or machine use an ice cream scooper or a spoon or your hand to form into balls.
Keep in the refrigerator for best keep (or freezer).
Enjoy!
I just recently bought a vintage Vitamix (because I like the all stainless steel over the plastic container). The first thing I tried was a spinach recipe with cacao and it was ok, but not thrilling. This appeals much more to my sweet tooth, and lucky me! I have all those ingredients right now! Wooo! Gonna go try it!
