Yield 24 Bites

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups dried cherries
8 medjool dates, pitted
2/3 cup walnut pieces
2 tbsp orange juice
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
6 tbsp dark chocolate chips
4 tbsp coconut, plus more for rolling

Steps:

  • 1. Finely chop dried cherries, dates and walnuts and combine in a large mixing bowl. Add orange juice, cinnamon, chocolate chips and coconut. Mix together with hands, working into a sticky mass. Mixture should hold together; if necessary, add another chopped date or a little more juice. 2. With clean, slightly wet hands, roll mixture into walnut she'll size balls. Roll in excess shredded coconut, if desired. Gently place into an airtight container and refrigerate. They will become firmer as they cool.
