There's A New Treat In Town

I'm into a new treat these days.  They're healthy, homemade, and delicious.

Made with dates, nuts, oats, vanilla, and cocoa powder.  When the mixture is done, I typically just roll them in cocoa powder, but this time I rolled some in cocoa, some in chopped nuts, and some in coconut flakes.  

Here's the recipe:

10-12 pitted Medjool dates. (I soak them in hot water to soften them and then I chop them in small pieces)
1 cup nuts (use any kind you like)
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 tablespoons of cocoa powder

Put everything in a food processor, pulse until the ingredients are finely chopped, and start to look thick and stick together.  Once combined, roll them into balls and place them on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper.  

Put them in the fridge until they're chilled.  Store in a Tupperware in the fridge.  

I will tell you that they're not going to last long.  They're delicious!
