Brownie Bites!! OMG

One of the biggest things I miss about "bad" food is sweets.  After every meal I'm always looking for something to quench the sweet tooth.  In my search I came across a recipe for Brownie Bites.  There are alot out there but I like this one.  I've made them a few times now and have tested them on "non" Paleo eaters with huge success.

Remember I said I steal most of my stuff from other peoples blogs.  This link will take you to the page for the recipe I used.  I have also posted it here in case the page ever goes away.  My notes are in red about the recipe.

This coping stuff from other pages is too easy.  There ought to be a law...just saying.

Don't look for this fancy prep time and total time to be on all my blogs
 

 Ingredients

• 1 cup raw Almonds
• 1-1/2 cups pitted Medjool Dates (approximately 10-11 dates)
• 3-1/2 Tbsp Cocoa Powder (try to use the good stuff)
• 4 Tbsp Shredded Unsweetened Coconut
• ⅛ tsp salt
• 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract (I never measure, so pour in what makes you happy) I'm still using the cheap imitation stuff. Part of my 20%
• Water

Instructions

1. Add all ingredients except water to the blender (I use a Blendtec) I just used my food processor, works great in the order listed (the keeps the dates from getting stuck in the blades).
2. Pulse a few times until your almonds have been chopped up pretty small (there can still be a few good sized pieces). You may need to scrape the sides 1 or 2 times.
3. If your mixture is dry, add in a small drizzle of water (I’m guessing no more than ¼ – ½ tsp).
4. Once everything is combined, scoop the mixture into a bowl and mix/knead just to make sure it’s nice and combined.
5. Enlist the help of small humans (aka: children) to roll the mixture into Tbsp-size balls. I have no small hands so I just do this myself.
6. Eat them all, or maybe share one or two with your small human helpers. It’s your call. I eat almost all. I share with my daughter who also eats Paleoish.
