Walnut-chocolate bliss balls
Process 2 cups walnuts until finely chopped. To food processor, add 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut flakes, 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup, 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil, 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract and 10 pitted Medjool dates. Pulse again until mixture forms a thick paste. (Don’t process too long, or mixture will become too sticky.) Roll into 16 uniform balls. Roll some of the balls in additional coconut or cocoa powder, if desired. Store in refrigerator or freezer until ready to serve.
