Sultanas, hazelnuts or almonds, coconut flakes, cocoa powder. Put in food processor, grind nicely, mix in balls and roll on the coconut. Mmmmm! No refined sugar and plenty of nutrients in these raw choc balls.

Suppose I should have read the requirement about chic peas or beans before posting. In which case I will add instead pinto beans in the crock pot with just a bit of olive oil, water, garlic, and onion. Sorry I haven't cooked with chic peas~ all my hummus comes from Sabra!

Put chickpeas in bowl w/ seasoning and toss to coat. Spread on greased cookie sheet and bake @ 450 degrees for 1 hour. A yummy, crunchy treat!

Spicy Chickpea Chili
(Not counting salt and pepper)
1 Can Chickpeas
1 lb 96% lean Ground beef
1 Can diced tomatoes with juices
Chili Powder 3-5 TBSP
Cumin 1TBSP

Brown ground beef add in seasonings and canned chickpeas/tomatoes... simmer for 20-30 minutes

If you want to make it 6 or 7 items you can add in a couple of garlic cloves and an onion when you are browning your meat OR to keep it to 5 or 6.... leave out the meat! The chickpeas are hardy enough.
