Method

In a bowl, combine the the cacao nibs, HALF of the hemp nuts (2/3 cup), the chopped walnuts, nutmeg and cinnamon; set aside. Using blender or food processor, finely chop/blend raisins until they are almost a puree. (More than chopped, but less than a puree; they should look like the inside of a fig.) Next, combine the raisins with the ingredients in the bowl. Mix in almond butter and honey; stir in coconut and Stevia (if using one or both) until thoroughly combined. Spoon out heaping spoonful of mixture and, using hands, roll mixture into 1-inch balls. Then roll balls in the remaining hemp nuts to coat the outside. Refrigerate until ready to serve. * You may substitute sugar-free peanut butter, but it holds together better with almond butter.

 

Notes: This recipe is perfect for people with wheat, sugar or dairy sensitivities, but even people who can eat anything think it's delicious! Go nuts, and make some Nutty Nutballs!

 

Number of Servings: 40-60, depending on size
