Girl Scout Cookie Bites. Enough Said.

Who said something healthy couldn't taste sooooooooooooo good.  I was on a kick with my food processor tonight.  Made hazelnut butter. (Just throw hazelnuts in the food processor... that's it! I added some cocoa and honey to sweeten it up a bit but you don't even need that! Simply mix in food processor for 10 to 15 minutes.)  Anyways... I have had these dates for awhile and decided tonight I was going to put them to good use!!

(Its not a good recipe for those on Candida Clear. :( I am sorry!)

Ingredients
1/2 cup dates
2 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut
Splash of pure vanilla extract
Pinch of sea salt
1-2 tbsp chocolate chips (I had Trader Joe's which are sweetened with cane juice, but there are plenty of others out there.  You could even use the chocolate bar at the office with xylitol!)

Throw all the ingredients in your food processor.  It took about 1 minute to blend and you are left with a delicious end product.  Just take all the dough and pack it in little balls or if you can't wait, just eat it right off the spoon! :)  My only complaint is that it didn't make enough!



The recipe is from the link below.  On the page you will see the actual ingredients of Samoa which I pasted below... 5 ingredients (well 12 including the 5 in the chocolate chips) versus this...
