Notes: Made from an Engine 2 recipe. I don’t know about “Damn Good” as they are named but we thought they were pretty good considering what they were.

Ingredients:
1/2 Cup raw almonds or cashews
1/2 Cup raw walnuts
6 large dates pitted (we bought in bag)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon water (if needed for texture)
3 tablespoons non-dairy dark chocolate chips
3 tablespoons old fashioned oats

Directions:
In a food processor or blender, blend the nuts until crumbled uniformly. Transfer the nut mixture to a bowl and set aside.

Add the dates, vanilla and water to the food processor and blend until mixture is paste-like. Scrape down the sides of the food processor a few times and blend again.

Add the nut mixture to the date mixture and blend together. Add chocolate chips and oats and pulse the mixture until blended to your liking or mix in the chips and oats by hand.

Press balls of the mixture firmly into a teaspoon. Free the dough from the spoon’s shape and place on serving plate. Refrigerate if not eating right away.
