My friend posted a link to a page about making healthy energy balls. I tried them tonight and they came out great...especially if you don't eat many sweets. Andrew didn't think they were sweet enough. Go figure!
Energy Balls
10 dried dates - pour boiling water over the top for about 3 minutes
1 tsp cocoa powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 c walnuts
Optional: additional cocoa powder or unsweetened coconut for rolling
Find more @ Slightly Indulgent Tuesday and Pennywise Platter Thursday!

I just started making energy balls and my boys love them.:)
I haven't made them with cocoa powder though...sounds good, I'll have to try it!!
These sound amazing *and* I can eat them on my current fast. I've definitely bookmarked these!
I actually made these this evening without the cocoa as I'm not supposed to eat it on my fast and it was SOO good. Now I have to resist eating them all.
I'm so glad you liked them...I just made a different version last night that I'll have to post. I had to take them to work to keep from rating them all :)
These sound delicious - a lot like Lara Bars, but homemade is always the best! Thanks for the recipe! What kind of dates do you use, and do you rehydrate them at all?
I found you on Pennywise Platter, by the way.

@ Danielle - I use the cheap dates in bulk at Winco...a store in my town. They look like this: http://www.amazon.com/Dates-Deglet-Pitted-Bag-Each/dp/B000RHXI7I
I pour boiling water over them just before I make the balls. Start out with 8 dates...I'm thinking you don't need all 10 :)
