Healthy Snacks-Dr Dileem's Coconut Brownies

I remember the coconut candies I used to eat in primary school. It was a treat back then. At a friend’s daughter’s wedding here in Kano I saw  and tasted raw coconut candy. It was made with lots of sugar.In the spirit of nostalgia I wanted to make something easier,healthier and without the sugar. It is a no cook coconut candy. This is so easy to make and will save you a lot of money.

• 1 cup almonds
• ¼ cup cocoa powder
• ½ cup shredded coconut (divided)
• 1 cup pitted dates (soaked for 1hr  and drained)
• 1½ tbsp coconut oil
• 1 tbsp honey

Preparation

1. Combine the almonds, cocoa powder, and ¼ cup of the shredded coconut together in a food processor. Process into a fine powder.

2. Add in the soaked dates, coconut oil, and honey. Pulse until a dough-like consistency forms.

3. Roll batter into small-bite-size balls. Then roll balls through a bowl with the remaining shredded coconut to coat. Store in an airtight container or freezer to preserve freshness!
