Ingredients:
1 Cup Walnuts
1 Cup Almonds
2 Cups Dates
2/3 Cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
1 Cup Shredded Coconut
Pinch Salt
1/8 Tsp Cayenne Pepper (could substitute Cinnamon or leave out entirely)
Directions:
In a food processor add the walnuts and almonds and blend until a sort of dough starts to form. Mine took about 2 minutes, scraping down the sides as you go.
Soak dates in warm water for about 5 minutes to rehydrate. Add dates, cocoa powder, 1/2 cup coconut, salt and cayenne pepper and blend into a dough.
Using a small ice cream scoop (about 1"), scoop out brownie balls onto a parchment lined baking sheet. You will get about 60 balls. Roll each ball in the palm of your hand to form a smooth ball. In a plastic bag or zip top bag, add in the remaining 1/2 cup of coconut and add in the brownie bites about 6 at a time and shake and roll around to coat them in the coconut.
Place back on baking sheet and put in fridge for about 1 hour to set up.
Enjoy! #Cheftainment
