Cosmic Rhino

Here’s another one from Mei who brought these into the gym last night. The lucky ones who got to try them (me) went crazy over them. Ryan said they were like a macaroon so I’m going with that name. (Jill, the kids will love these!)

Ingredients

• 3 cups unsweetened dried coconut (or you can use unsweetened coconut chips for more texture)
• 1 1/2 cups raw macadamia nuts (or toasted, if desired)
• 1 1/2 cups raw walnuts
• 8 medjool dates (if dates are dry, you might need to add more. See Instructions)
• pinch of sea salt

Instructions

1. Put dates in the food processor first and give them a few pulses
2. Add remaining ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs and sticks together. If it’s not sticking together, remember to add another date or two. Some dates are drier than others so it’s hard to give specific instructions.
3. Press into an 8×8 pan and cut the squares/score it first then put it in the freezer.  It will be a lot easier to turn them into bite-size treats than waiting until it’s frozen solid.
4. Keep in freezer

Thanks again, Mei!
