These things are awesome. They taste even better after they've sat for a day and the cocoa has had a chance to kind of sink into the cookie-part of the balls; then it tastes less bitter but still like dark chocolate cocoa powder. I can't really explain it.
1C shredded coconut
1C whole pitted dates
1C toasted chopped almonds
1 beaten egg
1/2C packed brown sugar
1 squirt of lemon or lime juice (maybe 1 tsp?)
Baking cocoa
In a food processor, chop up almonds. Toast in the oven for a while until they taste toasted. In same food processor, chop up dates as finely as possible. Mix together almonds and dates in a bowl, with your hands. Add the rest of the ingredients, mix together with your hands. Form into little balls, roll in baking cocoa. Bake for 10 minutes, allow to cool before eating. I got about 40 balls out of the recipe.
