This is a special recipe for all my readers who feel they just NEED a healthy chocolaty treat, OCCASIONALLY!

2 cups ground raw almonds

3/4 cup raw cacao powder

1/2 cup raisins

8 dates, pitted

1 tbsp coconut oil

a pinch of himalayan salt

3 tbsp water

1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut flakes

• Soak almonds in water for 24 hours, then rinse well.
• Place them in a dehydrator or on 150 degrees in oven until dried.
• grind almonds to a flour .
• add dates, raisins, cacao, coconut oil and salt
• blend well in food processor
• add water blend again
• take a small amount of batter and roll with damp hands into a walnut sized ball
•  dip in coconut and place on tray
• repeat until the mixture is all used up
• Refrigerate to harden to a fudge like consistency

NOTE: These delicious fudge balls are a treat and are meant to be enjoyed in moderation. Cacao has many beneficial elements, but also caffeine and other compounds that are not healthy in large amounts.
