Thanks Terrie
1/2 cup pitted prunes
1/4 cup pitted dates
3 tbsp almond butter
1 tbsp maple syrup
3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa
1/2 cup finely grated unsweetened coconut
1. In a food processor, drop the prunes and dates through the feed hole one by one. Scrape the processor bowl and run until the prunes and dates are smooth.
2. Add remaining ingredients except for the coconut. Run until smooth and scrape the processor bowl with a spatula as needed.
3. Roll the mixture into 12 one-inch balls and roll in coconut to coat. Refrigerate for at least 1/2 hour.
Healthy Cooking Tips:
If you don't have a food processor, this recipe may be done by hand, which of course, will take longer (but well worth it). Cut dates and prunes in quarters. Toss with 1 tbsp of the cocoa and chop the mixture until minced. Chopping with the cocoa keeps the mixture from sticking together. Place the chopped mixture in a mixing bowl and combine with remaining cocoa, almond butter and maple syrup. Knead the mixture on your cutting board until well combined. This version will be chunkier than those prepared in the food processor. Continue with the recipe described in step 3.
