An unusual and very healthy treat.
Ingredients:
240 ml 1 c. pitted prunes
120 ml1/2 c. pitted dates
89 ml6 T. almond butter
15 ml1 T. maple syrup
59 ml1/4 c, cocoa powder
finely grated coconut
Instructions:
Start the food processor and drop prunes and dates in one by one. Add the almond butter, maple syrup and cocoa powder and blend. Form into one-inch balls and roll them in grated coconut. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
To make them without a food processor, cut the dates and prunes in quarters and toss with some of the cocoa powder to keep them from sticking while you mince them. In a bowl, stir the remaining ingredients into the minced fruit. When well blended, form into one-inch balls and roll in the coconut.

A caution and a shortcut
I have discovered that sometimes "pitted prunes" still have pits, so I always cut mine in two just to check. Also, I no longer drop the prunes and dates in the processor one by one, just put them all in at once and chop. These are irresistibly delicious!
