Chocolate Cashew Balls

August 18, 2012


I made these Chocolate Cashew Balls a short while ago. I adapted this recipe from one I saw over at Elana's Pantry. It is easy, healthy, and chocolatey!

I tried it and ate so many.

My only mishap, which is visible in the picture is that I processed the cashews in the food processor a little too long and so the natural oils started separating and they look "sweaty". They also didn't have the crunch factor that I enjoy in recipes that use nuts. So, lesson of the day: don't over-pulse nuts!
