Total Time: 5 minutes

Yield: 16-18 balls

Serving Size: 1 ball



Ingredients

• 1/2 cup pitted dates, packed
• 1/2 cup golden raisins, packed
• 1 cup warm water
• 1 cup roasted cashews
• 1/4 cup carrots, sliced or cubed
• 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

Directions

1. Add dates and raisins to a small bowl and pour in warm water. Let the fruit soften for 5-10 minutes. Drain and pat dry with paper towels or a kitchen cloth. NOTE: If your fruit seems soft enough to process, skip to the next step.
2. Add cashews and carrots to a food processor and pulse until the ingredients are broken down a bit.
3. Add dates, raisins, coconut, spices, salt, and 2 tbsps of white chocolate chips to the food processor with the cashews and carrots and pulse until a soft dough forms.
4. Roll the dough into balls and refrigerate.
5. While balls are refrigerating, microwave remaining white chocolate and the coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl in 30 second increments until the chocolate is melted, being sure to stir after each 30 second interval.
6. Remove balls from fridge, drizzle with white chocolate, and store in an air tight container until ready to eat.
7. Enjoy!
