Fudge Babies

Fudge Babies. Brownie Bites. Date Balls. Heaven. Whatever you call them, they are delish (and totally addictive)! Made from dates, nuts and unsweetened cocoa powder these little balls of goodness are way better for you then a traditional brownie (and yes, they really do taste like brownies) but totally satisfy the need we all have from time to time to land face first into a pan of brownies. Or is that just me?

The only piece of kitchen equipment you need is a food processor (a blender really won’t work in this situation). If you don’t have one, get one. I have a 4-cup Cuisinart that rocks my world and takes up like no space at at in the cabinet (I know how precious kitchen space can be) and now they come in an array of colors to match any kitchen style.

Five ingredients. No baking. No cooking. Gluten-free. Raw. Sugar-Free. Vegan. Make them now – you won’t be sorry!
