| Title: | Date and Walnut Bars |
| Category: | Dessert - Clean (Only natural/organic ingredients), Vegetarian |
| From: | Neal Barnard |
| Ingredients: |
1 1/4 c walnuts
1/2 lb. soft and moist pitted dates
4 to 5 T hot water- as needed
|
| Directions: | Coarsely chop half the walnuts and very finely grind the rest. Process dates into a soft paste in a food processor, adding just enough hot water, one T at a time, to make a stiff but pliable mixture. Transfer to a bowl and work in the coarsely chopped walnuts with your hands. Lightly oil your hands so the paste does not stick. Take small lumps of paste and roll into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in the finely ground walnuts. Store leftovers in the refrigerator. |
| Makes: | about 30 balls |
