OK so, before you jump to conclusions...read the entire recipe....this is a GOOD healthy treat & they actually taste yummy (which I doubted at first because I am usually NOT a dates fan) try them, see what you think... Fudge Brownie Bites This no-bake recipe is quick and easy, making it very convenient for those who need a quick sugar fix. Surprisingly, there is no real sugar in the recipe. The sweetness comes from dates, also known as “nature’s candy”. For substitutions, you can replace the dates with prunes and the walnuts with Brazil nuts. These special treats have a long refrigerator life and an even longer freezer life. You can make an extra large batch and pop them in the freezer for an abundance of future goodies. Ingredients 1 cup dates (no added sweeteners) 1/2 cup raw almonds 1/2 cup raw walnuts 1/4 cup cocoa, good quality 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract 1/2 tsp water 1 tbsp cocoa (optional) Directions In a food processor combine walnuts ad almonds and pulse to a crumb like consistency...being sure to leave some course pieces for texture. Remove nuts and place in a medium bowl. Combine crumbed nuts with cocoa and vanilla, mix with a large spoon. Add dates to the food processor and pulse several times until they are a gooey consistency. This is very important...must be very gooey, as in a ball of goo. Add to nut mixture along with vanilla and water. You will need to use your hands to knead the mixture until there is one large ball...this will take a few minutes. Shape into 1-2 inch truffles as seen in photo. Combine additional cocoa and sprinkle on half of the truffles (optional) if you prefer, shape into small bars instead of truffles. Cover and refrigerate. Enjoy!
