Ingredients for 15 servings:
1. 1 cup walnuts (120 grams, I used pecans)
2. 1 1/3 cups pitted dates (230 grams, If you want a sweeter result, up the proportion of dates)
3. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4. 3 -4 tablespoons cocoa powder, depending on how chocolatey you want the balls to be (Katie used 4T extra dark)

Directions:
1. Chop/blend all the ingredients, using a food processor, Magic Bullet, etc.
2. Roll into cutey-pie little balls. (Use plastic wrap if you need to.).
3. I rolled these into balls, but if you want true brownies, simply shape the dough into bars instead.
4. **Update*** Version 2:.
5. Hot Cocoa Fudge Babies!
6. 30 grams cashews, 80 grams dates, 5 grams (1T) dark cocoa powder. Blend. Even fudgier than the original! :).
7. (Add mint and cacao nibs and you’re getting into Wild Bar territory. And if you leave out the cocoa, you have a homemade Cashew Cookie Larabar!).
8. * Add shaved coconut, mini chips, nuts, or raisins to the mix.
9. * Moisten truffles, then roll in cocoa powder, sugar, coconut, crushed nuts, etc.
10. * Add oils or extracts, such as mint or coconut.
11. * Sprinkle in some ground coffee for a java jolt.
12. * Extreme Chocoholic Version: Melt some chocolate and add it to the mix when you add the vanilla and cocoa.
