Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - Bubbly Theme and Healthy Chocolate Cashew Bites

 


Welcome to Rain's Art and Dinner Date's Bubbly theme hosted by Rain. Here is my ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") in acrylic and watercolour pencil.  I went with bubbly pink champagne.

For the Dinner Date, daughter L made these healthy chocolate cashew bites.  I liked them.




Here is her recipe she made it up by herself:

In a food processor or blender:
~15 pitted dates
3 tbsp cocoa powder
4 heaping tbsp peanut butter
1 cup (~3 handfuls) of salted cashews
1 cup of keto granola mix (pecans, sunflower seeds, toasted oats, coconut flakes)
4 tbsp of hemp hearts
2 tbsp no sugar maple syrup


Combine in food processor until sticky mixture forms. Scoop in to balls (round with hand), freeze or fridge until solidified, enjoy. Store in fridge or freezer.

Very nice. Cashew and chocolate go well together. I make balls like these as well. So good to travel with. Love to play about making different ones and also, clusters.
