When I get a sweet tooth and I need something in a hurry, I whip up these yummy treats.
I use a hand blender that has an attachment to make it into a mini food processor. Be creative, maybe the blender or your regular food processor will work.
Sweetie, Quickie, Healthy Candy
1/3 cup almonds
4 big medjool dates, pitted
heaping teaspoon of carob powder
Process until it looks like a fine, almost powdery consistency. It's possible it could lump together which is fine too. The "dough" will be warm to the touch now.
In rounded teaspoons, compress into the palm of your hand and roll into little balls.
Refrigerate or, better still, freeze for a chewier consistency. Serve. That's it.
Yeild: 12-14 candies
Extra tip:
If you want to make this in the regular food processor in a larger quantity, freeze on sheets of baking parchment to keep them from sticking together in storage.
Wonderful minerals, fibers, vitamins and healthy oil. To your health!
Love ya,
Aunt Laya

Sometimes I go to blogs, type out a whole comment, and then think that maybe the blogger isn't really so interested in my comment. Well, I AM interested in anything you want to say. Comment away, add to the discussion, or post a *relevant* link even.
