For Day 2 of BM #45, here is an addictive and healthy dessert for the kids and adults as well.
As there is some chocolate in here, my older one was reluctant to have these. But when I told her that there is very minimal cocoa powder, she gingerly took a bite and wouldn't stop popping more of these into her mouth!!
And that is the reason why I didn't garnish with more chocolate!!

Ingredients -
Dates, pitted and chopped 16-18
Shredded Dry Coconut 1/2 cup
Cocoa Powder 1 1/2 tsp
Almonds 16-18

Optional ingredients - Melted chocolate for garnish
Method Of Preparation -
In a food processor, add the chopped dates, cocoa powder and shredded coconut.
Pulse until a gooey mixtures comes out.
Take a big marble size portion of the mixture and pat into a thin circle, put in an almond and close the edges and shape into an oval shape making sure that the almond doesn't peek out :).
Cover all the almonds in the same way as above mentioned.
Place them on a parchment paper and sprinkle powdered sugar and evenly coat all of them.
Refrigerate before serving.
Optionally melt chocolate and make wiggly lines on the nuggets and freeze for an hour before serving.
