I had a little too much fun making these delicious, no refined sugar treats for my future sister-in-law's bridal shower tomorrow! I don't like to follow recipes and the mixture ended up less solid than anticipated, so I improvised and added more coconut so they would stick together. I'm calling them Raw Chocolate Snowballs! Watch out, they are addicting!! LOL! Bet you can't eat just one! ;-)
Raw Chocolate Snowballs
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups chopped raw walnuts
Pinch of sea salt
1 cup pitted unsweetened dates
1 tsp real vanilla
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut
Instructions:
-Add walnuts and salt to a blender or food processor. Mix until the walnuts are finely ground.
-Add the dates, vanilla, and cocoa powder to the blender. Mix well until everything is combined. -With the blender still running, add a couple drops of water at a time to make the mixture stick together.
-Using a spatula, transfer the mixture into a bowl. Using your hands, form small round balls, and then roll them in the coconut to cover.
-Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
