raw chocolate brownies

These are really great!! You can spread on a dish or a pyrex glass container or you can roll them into truffles.
1.5 cups raw walnuts
2/3 cup raw cocoa or unsweetened cocoa powder
12 dates soaked in warm water until soft
1/4 cup shredded coconut
1 tsp vanilla
2 tsp raw honey or more to taste
water if needed to thin batter a little
In a food processor, blend walnuts until very finely chopped. Add dates, vanilla, coconut, cocoa, and honey. Pulse until a fairly smooth mixture forms. If batter is too thick, then add water by the teaspoon until all is mixed well. Enjoy as truffles or as brownies.
-truffles: using a tsp., make balls and refrigerate to harden. You can roll in finely chopped nuts, coconut or cocoa. You also can eat as is!!!
-brownies: spread mixture on a parchment lined plate or pyrex container. Refrigerate until cold and hardened a bit. Remove the parchment paper and cut brownies into any shape you like.
