Really good...I was inspired by mliss29's photo and rolled out balls that I dipped in different things...some in cocoa, some in sesame and golden flax seeds, some in crushed coconut...made up a terrific "little box of chocolates" for a fabulously special treat...love, love, LOVE!!!!- Thanks MissLinguist!!!

Yummy and easy! I ate almost the whole plate myself! I will definitely make these again! Thanks! Reviewed for My-3-Chefs.

I really liked this, although I liberally subbed ingredients because I forgot to buy dates! I used cranberries and raisins instead (which defeats the "raw" bit, but meh). Anyway, tasted almost exactly like a Fruit & Nut bar. Awesome, I'll definitely make these again! Thanks!

Although I didn't really follow the recipe exactly, it was very nice. After discovering I didn't have any walnuts I used a few macadamias and raw hazelnuts instead. I also chose to use raw cocoa beans that I peeled and ground up in a coffee grinder. I wasn't sure what kind of coconut to use so I just used shredded. I also used maple syrup. I made 4 small logs out of it. thanks for posting

I have made these many times for my toddler. I have seen different versions of this recipe. The simplest one is just equal parts dates and walnuts plus cacao powder. I personally did not like the carob in this one, but my son thinks these are a great treat!

Fabulous. This always saves us when we need a treat. I add 1/2 whole raisins and some rum extract to the mixture just before rolling into balls. My kids love them too.

Great treat for a chocolate craving! So easy to throw together in the processor, and a very forgiving recipe - substitutes don't seem to hurt the end result at all. I used a mix of different nuts and added just a bit of vanilla. Made bite size balls (well, MY bite size!) and ended up with 17 of them. Thanks Miss!

Excellent, I was surprised it tasted that good. Most raw foods I make are just okay to pretty good...but this is excellent! I made two batches, spread out in a pan, sprinkled chopped walnuts on top to look more like brownies. They still taste more like chewy fudge, than a brownie but that are great! I would make again in the future when wanting something chocolate. And would recommend this recipe for anyone looking for a raw food dessert or not wanting refined sugar, dairy or flour in their brownies.

i didn't have all the right ingredients and it was STILL good. i encourage anyone to try it with substitutes if you don't have what it calls for. (the cocoa will be necessary, of course.) i used almonds instead of walnuts, and cocoa-coconut butter instead of coconut and honey. THANK YOU!!! will be making it again!
