I am a raw vegan and love sweets. I always have a batch of my chocolate candy on hand. Takes 10 minutes to make!
Easy: 1/4 cup walnuts
1 3/4 cups cashews (or almonds)
1 cup dates (soak and drain them for 30 minutes if you are not using medjool date which are soft)
1 cup raisins (or 1 cup mixed raisins and dates)
1/4 cup cacao powder
Mix all ingredients together in a food processor until it forms a glossy, smooth ball of dough. The dough will seem a little oily (from the walnut oil). Options are to pat into a pie plate and refrigerate and then cut into wedges later or roll the dough into balls and refrigerate or freeze in a container. You can also roll them in unsweetened shredded coconut if you like before refrigerating. They are very chewy (kind of a caramel texture) and it's quite satisfying to eat only a few!
Enjoy!
