Aileen's mini walnut and date brownies

Mini walnut and date brownies
Makes approx. 25

110g walnuts
6 tablespoons cocoa powder
200-250g pitted dates (depending how ‘fudgy’ you want them)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
100g dark chocolate (optional for covering)


1.      Put the nuts and cocoa in food processor and blitz until mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
2.      Add the vanilla extract and the dates and blitz until the mix starts to stick together.
3.      Divide the mixture into uniform sizes of whatever shape you want (I stuck to the standard bite size ball)
4.      Place onto greaseproof paper and pop into the freezer for ten minutes while you prepare the chocolate for covering.
5.      Melt chocolate and cover each bite. Allow to set. 
6.      Store in airtight container in fridge.

Note: Covering these bites in chocolate is an optional step.  I decided they were sweet enough, but each to their own I suppose!
