Spicy Chocolate Pop ‘Em Balls
Spicy and good. The antioxidant-rich cocoa powder and the heart friendly cayenne give these balls quite a health punch for a snack or dessert. And they are rich in almonds too.

1 cup (250ml) pitted dried dates
1/2 cup (125ml) whole almonds
1/2 cup (125ml) shredded unsweetened coconut
1tsp (5ml) pure cocoa powder
1/4 tsp (1ml) cayenne powder
apple juice as needed

Place the dates, almonds, coconut, cocoa powder and cayenne pepper in a food processor and blend until fairly smooth. Add just enough apple juice to make everything stick together. Form into balls, using 1 to 2 Tbsp (15-30ml) of mix for each. Allow to harden in the fridge. Enjoy!
