A friend of mine shared these with our family on an outing one day. I didn't think for a second that my kiddos would eat one let alone love them! They are super easy to make and very tasty. They curb that sweet tooth desire, but are more on the healthy side! The original recipe comes from here.
Chocolate Chip
Cookie Balls (Lara Bar Copycat)
2/3
cup pitted dates
A handful of
chocolate chips or Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips
1/4 cup
cashews (or another nut, like almonds.)
1/4 tsp pure
vanilla extract
A tiny pinch
of salt (can be omitted)
Blend all
ingredients together in a food processor or a blender. Scrape out and knead together with your
hands. Gently fold in chocolate
chips. Roll into tiny little balls and
place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for about a half an hour. Bag up cookie balls in freezer bag and store
in freezer until ready to eat.
Try not to
eat the whole bag!
