Less sweet raw chocolate covered peanut butter balls

1. Grind in food processor and set aside
  • 2 c. walnuts
2. Grind in food processor
  • 2 c. (about 8oz) dates 
3. Add
  • previously ground walnuts
  • 1 c. powdered sugar (previously was 2 c.)
  • 2 c. peanut butter
 Roll into balls and place on wax paper covered cookie sheet

4. Melt in 30 second increments in microwave
  • 1 bag dark chocolate chips (Or semi-sweet if you want sweeter)
5. Dip peanut butter balls into melted chocolate, let cool and harden.

My taste buds are moving away from super sweet foods so this year made everything less sweet. Hope everyone still likes the cookies. However, I still made the traditional rice krispie treats so those are plenty sweet. This year I don't have a gluten free kitchen and was making everything downstairs before running it upstairs to bake. What a pain.
