Food Processor

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups raw walnut halves
  • 1 cup Medjool dates (soft, squishy; pits removed)
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
  • Additional cocoa powder for coating

Instructions
 

  • In a large food processor fitted with an "S" blade, grind the walnuts into a fine meal.
  • Add in the rest of the ingredients, and process again until a sticky, uniform dough is formed.
  • Scoop the batter by heaping tablespoons onto a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper, to prevent sticking.
  • Roll the balls between your hands, and roll them in cocoa powder, if desired.
  • Store the balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
