Method

  1. In a food processor pulse raisins, walnuts, almonds, pumpkin seeds and coconut until coarsely blended. Add in cocoa powder and vanilla. Then process continuously until mixture forms a “dough” and starts to clump together.
  2. Remove and form into 1 inch diameter balls.
  3. If desired, on a small plate sprinkle your topping of choice. Roll each ball in the topping. Place on a serving dish or chill until ready to serve.
