German Chocolate Fudge Bites

I made the following recipe the other day and it turned out really good. I changed it a tiny bit (reduced coconut to 1 TBSP). I found that just a little bit over 1/3 cup pecans worked well because it allowed the mixture to stick together better. Any more than that and it became crumbly and difficult to form into balls.

German Chocolate Fudge Bites

3/4 cup pitted dates

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

pinch salt

2 TBSP Cocoa Powder

1 TBSP shredded coconut

1/3 to 1/2 cup raw pecans

Blend all ingredients together in food processor. Pour into larger bowl. Scoop and shape with cookie dough scoop and hands. Store in refrigerator.

I found that one 8 oz box of pitted chopped dates is perfect for doubling this recipe.
