This is my 3rd post on raw date/nut balls!  I am posting another one because I wanted to remind you of their awesome-ness!

There are so many ways to make these.  Today’s balls are different from my usual because I added something new and exciting—Apricot seeds!  I found them on nuts.com.  I have heard wonderful things about apricot kernels, and I have been wanting to try them out.  And, this morning, I received my “Organic Wild Apricot Kernels” from the website!  So, I decided to make something with them and blog about it!

Just in case you are wondering, these sweet kernels look and taste like almonds, but with a hint of fruit.  I just love them!

These “snow balls” are a perfect snack for both children and adults.  They are filling, energizing, healthy, and delicious!

Taste description: sweet, nutty, crunchy, soft and chewy.

I can’t get enough of them!
