Satisfy your dark chocolate addiction with these good to you and good for you Fudge Babies!
If you happen to be on the paleo bandwagon (which I am not, but a lot of my friends are), these Fudge Babies will fit the bill for satisfying your sweet tooth and still be admissible on your what-I-can-still-eat list.
Moreover, they are rich with deep, dark chocolate goodness that I can only find in a mini-pot of ganache or a handful of Dove Dark Chocolates. This method is way more healthy, and for that reason I can dismiss the guilt of eating one after another! Win win!
Now, on to the recipe!
Recipe courtesy of www.chocolatecoveredkatie.com
Ingredients:
1 cup walnuts or pecans (pecans courtesy of Grandma Louise's pecan orchard - lucky me!)
1 1/3 cups of chopped dates
1 tsp vanilla extract
slightly less than 1/4 tsp salt
4 tablespoons cocoa powder
Method:
Blend all ingredients using a food processor. Roll into little balls or press into the bottom of an 8x8 glass dish. I highly recommend doubling the recipe! These QUICKLY disappear - even my picky 7 year old, Miles, devoured them. I made one batch last week and immediately had to make a second batch 15 minutes later.
Today, I am on batch #3 and this one I doubled right off the bat.
After all, an old mom can learn new tricks!
