Vegan Bon Bons

Directions

1. 1
   Soak medjool dates in warm water for 30 - 60 minutes.
2. 2
   Place oats and walnuts into a food processor and grind them into a fine meal. Pour the power out into a large mixing bowl.
3. 3
   Core Granny Smith apple, but don't peel it. Add it to the food processor and processes it until very fine. Add the apple to the walnut and oats mix.
4. 4
   Drain the dates. Using a small food processor or a hand held (stick) blender, blend the dates into a nice paste. Add the paste to the mixing bowl.
5. 5
   Add the cinnamon to the mixing bowl and mix everything together using a wooden spoon or a spatula.
6. 6
   Using a measuring spoon, spoon out one scoop at the time and form a ball. The recipe should make 18-24 balls. Once formed, place the balls on a freezer safe tray and leave them in the freezer for 30 minutes.
7. 7
   Just before 30 minutes is up, melt the chocolate either in the microwave or using a double boiler.
8. 8
   Place 1/4 cup of unsweetened coconut flakes at a time in a flat dish. Take the balls out of the freezer, dip them into the melted chocolate and roll them into the coconut flakes.
9. 9
   Leave the finished balls on the kitchen counter for about 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden.
