Date Nut Pop 'Ems

(Anne B.)

1 cup almonds
1 cup walnuts
1/2 cup raw shelled sunflower seeds
10 dried medjool dates, pitted
1 Tablespoon cinnamon



Put the nuts and seeds in a food processor and let it go 30-60 seconds depending on the texture you like. The longer it blends the smoother and easier it is to shape into balls. Add the dates and cinnamon. 1 teaspoon of cinnamon for “plain” treats and 1 to 1 1/2 Tablespoons for cinnamon-y treats.

You can also add 1 Tablespoon of cocoa powder at this point for a really decadent treat.

Food process for another 10-20 seconds or so, until everything is well-incorporated. Then wash your hands and make pop 'em balls! Store in refrigerator.
