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!

ReplyDeleteThese look delish and I love how easy they are, no baking required!
ReplyDeleteWe had a very similar dish for rosh hashana - date balls. I think we used sunflower seeds rather than cashews.
