Chocolatey Easter Egg Bites

[Guest guest]

Cannot vouch for these because I have not made them yet, however, they sound

good. Probably could be shaped in any way, i.e. round balls, etc.

 

Chocolatey Easter Egg Bites

 

1/2 cup of medjool dates

1 cup of unsulphured apricots, soaked for a few hours

1 cup of hazelnuts, soaked for a few hours

2 or 3 tbsp of carob or raw cacao powder

2 tbsp of desiccated or grated fresh coconut or carob powder for rolling

 

1. Take the stones out of the medjool dates

 

2. Drain the apricots but keep the soak water

 

3. Drain the nuts and rinse well

 

4. Whiz up the dates, apricots, hazelnuts and carob powder in a blender, adding

some of the apricot soak water if necessary to make the mixture hold together in

a thick paste.

 

5. Shape the mixture in small egg shapes and roll in the coconut. Alternately,

roll in extra carob powder.

 

6. Place the eggs in small petit-four cases and refrigerate until needed.

These will last a few days if kept in airtight container in the fridge.
