No Sugar Cocoa Nut Balls by Jannette Basham and Jessica Christensen

I made these in 20 minutes start to finish!

These are SO GOOD! I tripled the recipe ha ha but here it is doubled so you get enough to enjoy... if you have a family like mine. This recipe is also on my friends blog that I posted as VEGAN dessert. So if you want that 100% recipe go to her website. This is what I did with ingredients in my home.

MIX:
1 c. cashews ~ ground (I used the blender, be careful you don't chop too long or it gets pasty, or use the chopper)
1/4 c. coconut
2 TBSP unsweetened cocoa

ADD:
1/2 c. dried fruit (any berry blend, I used Trader Joe's Golden Berry Blend: blueberries, cranberries,cherries)
1/2 c. craisens
1/2 c. peanut butter
4 tsp. honey
4 TBSP coconut milk

Will be gooey but able to roll into balls. I used the pampered chef tiny scoop to get the dough out into my hands and rolled them. Worked great.

Roll into balls and then roll in coconut. Put into refrigerator for a bit to harden up a tad, will still be soft. 
ENJOY! 

This is how many a triple batch made... minus a few ;PUp close and personal!
