Chocolate Cherry Torte Energy Bites ~ Laraballs
(Original Post)

1 c walnuts

1/2 c dried cherries, unsweetened
1/2 c dates, pitted
1/2 c cocoa, unsweetened
1/4 c flaxseed, ground
1/2 Tbsp water

Blend well with a food processor (set a 90 sec timer) and shape how ever you like! Larabars are a favorite treat in my house and super-healthy (read more here).

Transfer the mix in a resealable sandwich bag and shape into balls from outside bag. They can be stored at room temp or in the frig. Easy as that!

Check out this Google Image Search to get the idea of the flavor I was going for - healthy style ;)

Use a quart sized bag for this recipe since I doubled the original,
...or you could follow the photo and use two sandwich bags.

Good for the Naughty (I'll take this coal any day!)
