German-Chocolate Fudge Bites
(credit goes to chocolatecoveredkatie.com)
(Makes 10-14 balls)
(I always double it)
3/4 cup pitted dates (I like Sunmaid, because they are softer.) (120g)
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/16 tsp salt
2 tbsp cocoa powder (or raw cacao powder) I omit this, I think they are good sans cocoa if that's possible
2 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut (You can buy this at The Food Emporium in Shreveport)
1/3 to 1/2 cup raw pecans (I do half walnuts for the omega 3 adavantage)
optional: feel free to add some chocolate chips
Blend all ingredients together very well. (I recommend using a food
processor.) Squish the dough together. (I transferred the dough to a
plastic bag then smushed it together in the bag. It’s much less messy
this way!) Roll into balls, cookie-cuttered shapes, or bars… or you can
even use it for a pie crust!
Then I keep it in the fridge. They firm up a little and don't feel oily this way.
