Confession. I've never owned a food processor. I've always used a blender which worked well, but that meant hand-grating things like carrots and actually using a cutting board and knife for cucumbers and the like. Oh the horror.

But, here we are with a food processor and what better way to break her in than to make these simple, 5-ingredient coconut, walnut crunch bites. These are great for on-the-go snacking and are delicious enough to masquerade as a dessert.

5 ingredients:

pitted dates
walnuts
almond flour
cinnamon
unsweetened shredded coconut.

Put all ingredients, except shredded coconut, in the food processor. Process until you reach a mealy consistency.

Shape into quarter-size balls and roll in shredded coconut to cover. Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
