Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Pitted Medjool Dates
- 0.5 cup Raw Walnuts
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Sea Salt
Instructions
In a food processor, combine the pitted Medjool dates, raw walnuts, unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and sea salt.
Pulse the mixture several times to break down the dates and walnuts. Then blend continuously until a sticky dough forms. This may take 1-2 minutes, and you may need to scrape down the sides of the bowl occasionally.
Once the mixture is uniform and sticky, remove it from the food processor.
Take about 1 tablespoon of dough at a time and roll it between your palms to form small bite-sized balls.
Repeat until all the dough is rolled into Fudge Babies. You should have about 12 pieces.
Optional: For a decorative touch, you can roll the Fudge Babies in shredded coconut, finely chopped nuts, or additional cocoa powder.
Store the Fudge Babies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
