chocolate dates ball

Inspired by "nakd" chocolate date bar and raw vegan cake by an instagramer @fully_vegan (http://instagram.com/p/gGuJrrwOyX/)

I made these as little balls like chocolate rum balls that I used to like, except these are coated with desicated coconut instead of milk chocolate sprinkle. Healthier, happier! 

1 cup chopped dates

1 cup raw cashew

1/2 cup raw chocolate

1/3 cup cocoa powder

1/2 cup ground almond

2 tbs agave nectar/golden syrup

Desicated coconut for dusting

1. Soak the dates and cashew for a few hours.

2. Put all ingredients together in a food processor except desicated coconut. (As I don't have food processor, I used hand blender on the soften dates and cashew first, then mixed the rest of the ingredients).

3. Add ground almond if it is too wet. 

Make little balls (or big balls, which ever you fancy)

4. Coat with desicated coconut. 

5. Freeze or refrigerate for a couple of hours. 

Ready for some nice but naughty nibble!
