Chocolate Fudge Balls Sent from HEAVEN!!

                            Chocolate Fudge Balls Sent from HEAVEN!!!!

Ok.  These are the absolute BEST healthy dessert things I have EVER had!!!!!!!!  In fact, I would recommend doubling this recipe, they are so good!  I know, I know it sounds really weird and gross with the dates as the sweetener (I don't really like dates), but they are so so good!  You have to read this recipe right now and then go to the store and get everything you need for them and then go home and make them!!!!!!!!!!!!

• 1 and 1/3 cups pitted dates (230 grams) (I often use SunMaid dates, which are super-soft.)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• optional: a pinch of salt
• 3-4 tablespoons cocoa powder (or even Special Dark cocoa), depending on how chocolatey you want the balls to taste
• 1 cup raw almonds (crushed)

                                                                      Directions:

First, blend the dates in a food processor until nicely pulverized.  Add all other ingredients accept for almonds.  Blend until you have a nice, smooth chocolatey wonderfulness!  Spray your hands and a plate with cooking spray and form chocolate dough into cute little fudge balls (any size you want) roll in crushed almonds (I'm allergic to anything but almonds but my dad says they're REALLY good with walnuts) place on the plate and refrigerate.

enjoy!
