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

Directions

Step 1

In a food processor, combine the pitted Medjool dates, raw walnuts, unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and sea salt.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Once the mixture is uniform and sticky, remove it from the food processor.

Step 4

Take about 1 tablespoon of dough at a time and roll it between your palms to form small bite-sized balls.

Step 5

Repeat until all the dough is rolled into Fudge Babies. You should have about 12 pieces.

Step 6

Optional: For a decorative touch, you can roll the Fudge Babies in shredded coconut, finely chopped nuts, or additional cocoa powder.

Step 7

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.
