Cocoa Drops

When trying to break away from sugar (which happens often!) I make little wholesome treats that will satisfy the craving. These little chocolate hugs where perfect!
They are no-bake and FAST! 
Packed with protein and fiber!
NO REFINED SUGAR OR FLOUR! I love that - that's usually always my goal! :)
side note: My Kids LOVED these!

1/2 C Walnuts or Pecans
2 Tbs Whole Flaxseeds (you can use ground too!)
2 Tbls unsweetened Coconut

1/ 2 C Medjool pitted dates
1/2 C raisins
4 Tbs Cocoa powder
1 tsp Honey
1 tsp Cinnamon
