This was meant to be the recipe for my cocao nut bliss balls featured in my holiday snack preparation post.  Some how however I have managed to loose my recipe! With the ebook under way I have scraps of paper with scribbled recipes all over the place!

I decided to make some more so I could give you exact measurements of ingredients, but got a bit off track as per usual and have created a new and improved version – The raw cocao fudge balls!

These chocolatey fudge balls are heaven and full of antioxidants and omega’s.

Recipe:

2 cups of fresh medjool dates

3 heaped tbs cocao powder

1 tbs coconut sugar or rapadura

1 tbs chia seeds

1 tbs vanilla extract

2 tbs tahini or nut butter or 1 of each

1 cup raw nuts of choice (I used brazil nuts and walnuts)

pinch of himalayan salt

1 tbs maca powder (optional)

Blend all the ingredients together on the highest speed for about 1-1.5 minutes or until all ingredients are combined into a moist dough.

If using a thermomix: speed 9, 1 minute.

Roll dough into balls and then roll them in your favourite topping. These balls are great rolled in shredded coconut. Other options include; cocao powder, chia seeds, goji berries, sesame seeds.

Enjoy with a cup of herbal tea!
