13 Feb Happy Valentine’s Chocolates

Try this healthy recipe as an alternative to your usual Valentine’s chocolates! 

• 1 1/2 cup walnuts
• 8 Medjool dates (these are softer than other dates, and easier to blend)
• 1/2 cup cocoa (use less if you don’t love dark chocolate)

Blend walnuts in a high powered blender or food processor until a powder.  Pit the dates, then add walnut powder to a bowl and the pitted dates. Using your hands mix the two ingredients together until the dates are completely incorporated.  Add the cocoa.  Shape into a mould. Top with dried fruit, coconut, granola, or peanut butter!
