Really good!!! I made these to put in my husband’s lunch. We’re starting a healthier diet and I’m hoping these will help him if he’s hungry late in the day. (Salad doesn’t stick with you like a greasy burger and fries.)

These are DELICIOUS!  Chewy, moist, and flavorful!  I used my Vitamix and then after I made the mix into balls, I took more raw cashews and blended them into dust (or almost dust) and sprinkled extra salt into it.  I then rolled the balls in the cashew dust to make them less sticky.  YUM!  I'm planning on vacuum sealing half of them and putting them in the freezer since I made the entire batch just for me.  :)

I cut the dates up before processing and it mixed with no problems.  I used unroasted/unsalted almonds instead of cashews.  Everyone loves them!

These energy balls are really tasty. They are a great late afternoon pick me up.

I think the recipe should give a heads up to place the ingredients in the food processor in batches unless you want your processor to bounce itself off your counter.

Also, I was only able to make 15 balls with the mix. Measuring with a tablespoon is difficult because of the stickiness of the mix. Perhaps including a size measurement (1") would be more helpful.

I served these to my book group and they loved them and all asked for the recipe.  I am making them again today for my grandchild.

Wellll......
All of this kind of thing may be kind of healthy, but it always looks like its already been eaten and.......
Pros: I guess they are healthy, but have a lot of sugar
Cons: They look awful
