Brownie Bites




Finding healthy snacks in the stores seems to be close to impossible, unless of course all I want to eat is fruit and veggies.  Which don’t get me wrong that’s the best food ever, but let’s face it I have a sweet tooth and a craving for chocolate now and then, okay more like all the time.  So I need a treat that is healthy, gluten free and tasty.  Not hard if you are in control of the ingredients right?  Right!

What You’ll Need:

1 ½ cups of peanuts (or whatever type of nut you prefer)
Pinch of sea salt
13-15 dates, pitted
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla

What You’ll Do:

Put nuts and salt in food processor, process until finely ground.
Add remaining ingredients and process until all mixed.
Remove brownies from the food processor and press into a square shape.  Cut into small bite sizes, enjoy or put in fridge to harden and enjoy later.
