Raw Food Homemade Energy Bites

I don't know about you, but store bought energy bars sort of gross me out. When I need a little something sweet and satisfying these will do the trick. I have amended a recipe from one green planet.These bars are super good; let me know what you think. I usually store a bunch in the freezer and take them along to snack on during the day.*Note these are more delicate than store bought energy bars, so place them in a glass sealed container rather than a plastic bag, they will hold and travel better.

Raw Super Food Energy Bars with Dark Chocolate(note: I have amended the original recipe)makes 20- 2 inch diameter bites

You will need:- 1 cup walnuts- 1/3 cup chia seeds ( *optional they are really rough on the teeth)- 1/3 cup ground flax seeds- 3 tablespoons hemp seeds- 1/4 cup cacao nibs or dark chocolate chips- 1/4 cup coconut flakes- 3/4 cup pumpkin seeds- 1 cup raisins- 2 cup dates ( remove the pit)- 1-2 tablespoons melted coconut oil, as needed- 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips meltedTo prepare:

1. Throw the dry ingredients in your food processor, then add the dates and raisins and process until everything it starts to stick together for at least 5 minutes it needs to resemble a paste. If it's too dry, add more dates or coconut oil.
2.  Mix in with your hands, forming rounds balls (note you really need to press together the mix) take the balls and press into a small muffin tin.
3. Melt chocolate chips in the microwave for 1 minute, whisk to smooth
4.  Carefully remove the energy bar cups from the tin and top off with melted chocolate  let them cool in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
