Decadent Chocolate Bites

Servings: 10-12

I found this genious recipe on http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2012/02/08/ german-chocolate-fudge-bites/. You won't believe how healthy the ingredients are and how amazingly decadent this dessert is!

 

Ingredients:

3/4 cup pitted dates (I tried using prunes the 1st time which was ok, but dates are way better in my opinion)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp cocoa powder
2 tbsp shredded coconut
1/3 - 1/2 cup raw pecans
pinch of salt
1/4 - 1/3 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Directions:

1.   Blend all ingredients together. *I used my Magic Bullet; it takes some time but it works. A food processor may work better.*
2.   Put mixture into ziploc bag and knead mixture together.
3.   Roll mixture into balls or bars if you prefer.
4.   Store unused "bites" in fridge or freezer.

ENJOY!
