okay, so this recipe isn't necessarily great for a 'diet', especially if portion control isn't your strong suite. but they are all-natural, and packed with nutrients, and the taste is so rich that you only need one or two for a treat!
Ingredients:
1/3 cup oats
1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/3 cup roasted peanuts
4 whole, dried, pitted dates
about 1/4 cup agave nectar or honey (you may sweeten to your personal taste)
Directions: Place the first 3 ingredients in a food processor and process for about 1 minute. Add the dates and agave/honey. Process for 1-2 more minutes. The dough should start to ball up in the food processor, and be a texture much like cookie dough. Note: If the dough is too sticky or soft to easily form balls, place it in the freezer or fridge for a little while until the dough gets firmer. Roll the dough into 16 balls. (They are pretty small, a little larger than a hershey's kiss.) Place the balls in an air-tight container. They do not need refrigeration, but they keep longer that way. Note: The cookie dough balls will continue to get firmer after they are formed because the oats soak up some of the peanut's moisture. They will keep for about 5 days!
This whole process takes about 10 minutes! so simple! :drinker:

Thanks for the recipe...
Two things...
1. Can someone describe the taste of a date
2. Do you know the calories per each ball?0 -

I haven't tried it yet, but you should be able to put the recipe into the "tools" section and it will give you the calorie count based on the number of servings the recipe makes. As far as dates go, it's difficult to describe a taste. They're very sweet and sticky.0
