Ingredients

• 12 dried Medjool dates
• ½ cup almonds
• ½ cup walnuts
• 6 tablespoons raw defatted cocoa
• 4 tablespoons ground carob
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2-3 tablespoons water

• Remove the pits from dates and soak them in hot water for several minutes. When the dates are softened, drain them and place in food processor. Save the water.

Add 2-3 tablespoons of water in which you have soaked the dates if the mixture is too dry. With the small spoon scoop the mixture and roll into balls. Roll the balls into raw cocoa. Place them on the baking sheet. Store chocolate cinnamon balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator until serving.
