I put everything in the food processor to blend, then rolled into balls. I dipped some in melted chocolate. They were very popular! It's great to feel that you are still getting something good for you when treating yourself.

You and I are thinking alike - because here you go making these, with the same ingredients! I agree with Ricki (even though I'm not a nutritionist), these have fiber and Omega 3s, and a good source of protein from the nuts, so they're pretty darn good! I'm definitely going to have to make some. I'm thinking they could be changed up with a lot of different ingredients - peanuts, some raisins, almonds, even throw cinnamon in there for something different! Yum!

As a holistic nutritionist, though, I'd disagree about these being "not healthy"--walnuts offer a huge boost of Omega 3 fatty acids, great for heart health and brain power, and dates are a good source of fibre and minerals--and sweetness, of course. By combining the fats and fiber of the ingredients with the sugars, you lower the overall GI of the dessert. I think that, like anything else, moderation is the key--but one square of these would definitely fall into my "good-for-you" category. IF you can eat only one, that is ;) They look fabulous–and your photos are stunning!
