I cannot even count the number of times I have made this one. My mom, my friends, those who are new to raw…
I’m constantly recommending and sharing this little treat. It is so easy. I don’t know how it is possible that something so easy would come out tasting so very decadent. And something without chocolate could taste so chocolatey. It’s the craziest thing. I really hope you will try this one!
INGREDIENTS:
4 cups walnuts
3 cups raisins
2 7-8″ vanilla beans
3/8 t sea salt
1/2 T cinnamon
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Chop 1 cup walnuts in a food processor until well chopped but definitely not powdery! You want to keep some texture to them. Set aside in a bowl, then mix in the cinnamon.
- Put the remainder of the walnuts and other ingredients into the food processor. Keep processing until it starts to form a wonderfully oily glob of a ball.
- Hand roll this mixture into separate balls, about 20-25 of them. Roll the balls around in the chopped walnut mixture.
- Share! And make sure when people are mmm-ing and hmmm-ing that you inform them this is actually a health food. (Yes!)
Eva, I made these today!!!! Unbelievably easy and so delicious!!

Hey Èva…I successful made this recipe today…these are quite yummy….What would happen if your froze them? And, best to keep them in the fridge awaiting consumption?
Robert!! HOW EXCITING! So glad to hear back from you, especially after the Big Vanilla Adventure! I never keep them for long, and I know for several days they’re actually good even without refrigeration. I would be willing to bet they’d be good in the fridge for a few weeks, but I don’t know how that would work to freeze them.
It would PROBABLY be just fine, but I’m just not sure. The thing about freezing is that it can sometimes drastically change the consistency of the food. But not always. Case in point: I like to freeze things like pizza crusts, and you’d never know the difference. Once I pop ‘em in the D with marinara sauce, they are as good as on the day I made them!
Hi Eva,
Just made these, they are awesome! I wasn’t sure if I over-processed them because they were quite oily and while they stuck together, they didn’t stick together all THAT well. Doesn’t really matter though cause they taste great. So nice to have really quick recipes too. Thanks!
Julie
Hey Julie — Sounds like the WERE overprocessed a bit possibly. Mine usually don’t have an issue with sticking together — but it could be in the rolling too — gotta get the roll down pat! lol! Glad you enjoyed them in any case!!!
xxo Eva
Wow Eva! These look delicious, I’ll be making this on Sunday afternoon!
Yay! Report back if you don’t mind Antoinette!! <3 Eva
