CHOCOLATE CHIP CHERRY BITES (RAW)

Ingredients
2 cups raw pecans
½ cup raw cacao powder
8 ounces dried cherries (unsweetened and unsulfured)
8 ounces pitted dates
¼ cup raw cacao nibs
1 Tablespoon alcohol-free vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon cherry extract

Instructions
In a food processor fitted with the “S” blade, process the nuts into a flour. Add the cacao powder and process again briefly. Add the cherries and process again, then the dates. If the mixture is not sticky enough to reach the “break point”, add more date or a splash of date syrup. Then add the etracts and process again briefly, then the nibs and pulse. Press the mixture into a silicone brownie pan.
