Chocolate bites

So, I finally decided this recipe is blogworthy. At first, I was hesitant because I've had some sketchy experiences with vegan cooking, but not only did it pass the husband/kid test, but it has no added flour, fat, or sugar!  Let me know what you think!

• 1 1/2 cups walnuts
• pinch sea salt
• 13-14 large Medjool dates, pitted
• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 tsp vanilla extract (you could also use mint extract or cherry extract, or orange...)

Instructions

1. Place walnuts and salt in a food processor.
2. Process until finely ground.
3. Add remaining ingredients and process until all mixed and uniformly crumbly.
4. With the machine running, add a few drops of water at a time, just until the mass starts to stick together in a big ball. (Better to add too little that too much!)
5. Roll mixture into balls or press into a square pan and cut into squares.
6. Balls can then be rolled in dried coconut, chopped nuts, or cocoa powder if you wish.
