No-Sugar, No-Oven Quick Treat
Ingredients:
1 cup dates (pitted)
1/2 cup nuts (almonds, cashews, or walnuts)
2 tablespoons cocoa powder (optional for chocolate flavor)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
A pinch of salt
Shredded coconut or cocoa powder for coating (optional)
Instructions:
Prepare the dates and nuts: Soak the dates in warm water for 5–10 minutes if they are dry.
Blend the ingredients: In a food processor, combine the dates, nuts, cocoa powder (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Process until the mixture becomes sticky and forms a dough.
Form the treats: Take small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls.
Coat (optional): Roll the balls in shredded coconut, cocoa powder, or finely chopped nuts for extra flavor and texture.
Chill: Place the treats in the fridge for 15–30 minutes to firm up.
