Yummy Holiday Chocolate Treat
Have you ever tried adding dates to your smoothies or sweet treats as a sweetener? Dates have an impressive list of essential nutrients, vitamins and minerals that are needed for overall well-being. They are an excellent source of potassium, iron and are rich in dietary fiber too. Pair that with the antioxidant health benefits of raw cacao and this sweet treat is a win-win!
Fudge Babies (recipe adapted from Elana’s Pantry)
1/2 cup Medjool dates, pitted
1 cup raw cashews
3 tablespoons raw cacao powder
1 tsp vanilla
Place dates, cashews, cacao powder and vanilla in a food processor. Pulse until smooth. Remove mixture from food processor and roll into little balls.
Enjoy!
