Raw Fudge
From The Sunfood Cuisine by Fredric Patenaude 

2 cups soaked Cashews
1 cup pitted Dates
1 cup soaked Raisins
4 Tbs. Carob Powder or Unsweetened Cocoa
1 cup Filtered Water
1 cup ground Flax Seeds
1 cup Walnut pieces

Blend soaked cashews, dates, raisins, carob powder, and water together in food processor or heavy-duty blender (you can also use a Champion or Omega juicer with blank plate on). Pour into a bowl. Measure one cup of flax seeds and grind in coffee grounder (you will have to grind 1/2 cup at a time). Mix in with the chocolate mixture along with the walnut pieces. Spread in a rectangular tin. Freeze for a few hours. Cut in rectangles, then serve!

Nut Butter Balls 
adapted from a recipe by Alana Martin

½ cup Almond Butter
1/8 cup Raw Honey or Maple Syrup
½  Ground Flax Meal
¼ cup chopped Raisins
½ cup Sesame Seeds

Mix all ingredients together until well blended. Run hand under cold water; shake off excess. This will keep dough from sticking to your hands. Roll into balls. Put on plate and refrigerate 1-3 hours before serving.

Optional Ingredients for Variations:
Use chocolate whey instead of vanilla
Add ½ tsp flavoring extract (vanilla, coffee, butterscotch)
Dash or two of Cinnamon
Add chopped almonds, walnuts or pecans
Substitute unsweetened tart dried cherries for raisins
