Ingredients
3/4 cup pitted dates (I like Sunmaid, because they are softer.)
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/16 tsp salt
2 T cocoa powder (or raw cacao powder)
2 T shredded coconut
1/3 to 1/2 cup raw pecans
optional: feel free to add some chocolate chips
Preparation
Blend all ingredients together very well. (I recommend using a food processor.)
Squish the dough together. (I transferred the dough to a plastic bag then smushed it together in the bag. It’s much less messy this way!)
Roll into balls, cookie-cuttered shapes, or bars or you can even use it for a pie crust!
