Brownie Bites

Picture
I love this recipe because it only contains three ingredients and can be made in under five minutes.  If you make a double or triple batch, it's a wonderful recipe to take to gatherings and potlucks. Have fun!!

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup walnuts
  • 1 cup raisins
  • 2 tbsp cacao (or more, if you like)

In a food processor, using the "s" blade, start with the walnut and process them fine.  Next add the raisins until a fudgy consistancy is reached.  Finally, add the cacao.  Now, pinch a small piece off and roll it into a ball.  Do so with the entire batch.  Feel free to roll it in more cacao powder, coconut shavings or powder, or cinnamon.  Enjoy!!! 

Raw “Fudge”

Picture
  • 1 cup walnuts
  • 1 cup raisins

In a food processor with an “S” blade….process walnuts with the raisins until the oils are released from the walnuts and it’s a sticky mess. Now, you can roll it into bite size balls/squares/into molds (cookie cutters are fun) and refrigerate it.  Press it into a pan and smother it in peanut butter (or Raw Almond Butter if you can) for an incredible dessert. It’s a wonderful pie crust as well.  Do whatever you like…it doesn’t need cacao or carob to make it fudgy…it’s already a great taste and consistency. ENJOY and be creative!
