Raw Fudge Brownies

Here is a yummy raw chocolate fudge brownie recipe that I have for a late night snack while I'm watching movies on the couch. To be honest, I have some every night. It's always made up in my freezer so I don't reach for other unhealthy snacks. It's healthy, stabilizes my blood sugar and excites my taste buds with just a small portion. This recipe is a slight variation from one in Jennifer Cornbleet's book "Raw Food Made Easy", she's awesome.

1 1/2 cups of walnuts
Dash of salt
11 Medjool dates
1/3 cup unsweetend cocoa powder (or carob powder if you prefer)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons of water (or coconut milk, which I love!!!)

Put the walnuts and salt in the food processor using the "S" blade until finely ground. Add the dates, cocoa powder and vanilla and process until the mixture sticks together. Finally, add the water and process briefly. Transfer to a flat tupperware container and pat down into a flat fudge-like form with a spatula. Keeps for about 4 days in the refrig or 2 weeks in the freezer.
