Chocolate Fudge Balls


If you're going to be successful at changing your lifestyle, you have to have chocolate to fall back on...right? But, it needs to be delicious and good for you, right? This one keeps my hand out of the cookie jar! I discovered a variation of this recipe at a recent class I was taking. It has been a "staple" ever since! The combinations are as endless as your personal creativity. Here are the basic guidelines:

Place wet ingredients in a bowl, add your dry ingredients and other extras and stir in until a dough like consistency. Roll into balls and roll in extras or dip in chocolate. These will keep in the fridge for quite awhile (although I've never had to test this).

Nut Butters:
Tahini (Raw or Roasted)
Peanut Butter
Cashew Butter, Almond Butter...you get the idea

Sweeteners:
Molasses (great source of vitamins and minerals)
Raw Honey
Real Maple Syrup

Dry Ingredients
Ground Flaxseed
Ground Sesame Seeds
Raw Cacao or Raw Carob Powder
(Whatever else you come up with...)

Extras:
Add: raisins, dried fruit, chopped nuts, cinnamon, etc.
Roll in coconut, chopped nuts, dip in chocolate, etc.
