Fudge Babies... Oh Baby!!! :)


Don't laugh... taste these, and "Oh Baby!" might just be the first thing out of your mouth... you've been warned!!

And I may or may not have already "Oh Baby'd" myself into obesity... oh wait, nope!! I am still an acceptable size! Because these are paleo-friendly, as well as guilt free!!

Ingredients:
  • 1 c walnuts
  • 1 and 1/3 cups pitted dates (I use more to make them sweeter.)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3-4 tablespoons cocoa powder, depending on how chocolate-y you want the balls to be.
Directions:
-Add all ingredients to food processor/blender at once.
-Blend all ingredients into oblivion... no really, they can't be chopped and blended ENOUGH!
-I let mine sit for about 30 minutes to allow the oils from the dates to soak into the other ingredients.
-Roll/squeeze/whatever you have to do to get them into balls. A little heat from your hands will help! (No, that is not gross, just wash your hands before!)
-Store in sealed container. As they sit, they will become even MORE delicious once they combine and the oils continue to seep in.
-Enjoy!!
