Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to a food processor. Puls a few times, then continue to process until the mixture is crumbly. Continue to pulse until all the ingredients are uniform in size.
- Shape into small balls, (I prefer 1-inch in circumference), pressing together firmly with your hands to be sure the bites stay together.
- If desired rolls the bites in carob/cocoa powder or shredded coconut.
