Vida Nell
10 dates, pitted
1 cup nuts (I used walnuts)
1/4 cup cocoa powder (raw is best nutritionally, but expensive)3 Tablespoons Peanut Butter
Put the nuts in a food processor and blend until crumbly like fresh bread crumbs. Add the remaining ingredients and blend until it begins to clump together. Scrape down the sides if necessary and repeat. Line a loaf pan with plastic wrap, parchment paper or wax paper. Press the mixture firmly into the pan and allow to cool in refrigerator to set.
SUBSTITUTES:
Sub in 1 cup dried apricots, raisins or prunes for the dates. You’ll need to add a little honey since these are not as sweet as dates.
Bulk these babies up with dark chocolate chips, cranberries or seeds. Experiment and come up with a new flavor every time!
