Raw Brownie Bites - from Karen Urbanek Makes 2 dozen or so balls
2 cups raw walnuts
1 cup raw cacao powder (not cocoa powder) *
1 1/2 cups pitted dates cubed
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup chopped raw almonds (not sliced)
Blend the walnuts until fine then add the salt, cacao powder and dates a few at a time.
When dates are well blended, pour into bowl and hand stir in the almonds, then shape into balls and refrigerate.
Note - I missed noticing a pit still in a date, but boy did I notice when popping a ball into my mouth and discovering a not so pleasant hard piece..... repeated over and over!
*1/2 a Giradelli's 100% Cacao bar also works when desperate and can't find raw cacao powder, but it adds more fat/grease so decrease the amount of walnuts
