Time 2h15m

Yield 24 balls

Number Of Ingredients 6

12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips (REAL chocolate please)
1 cup chopped nuts (almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts, brazil nuts, pick your favourite)
3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/8 teaspoon salt
chocolate sprinkles or finely grated chocolate, if preferred

Steps:

  • In the top of a double boiler over hot (but not boiling) water, melt the chocolate chips.
  • Stir in nuts, condensed milk, vanilla and salt.
  • Mix well.
  • Cool the mixture until until you can work with it comfortably. If it is too soft, chill it in the refrigerator until it is workable. The temperature in your kitchen and the type of nut (and fineness of chopping) used can influence how much it needs to chill before being workable.
  • Butter hands and roll mixture into 1 inch balls.
  • Roll the balls in the chocolate sprinkles (or grated chocolate) and refrigerate.

CHOCOLATE CRANBERRY NUT BALLS

I'm gravitating towards the Paleo Diet so I created this high-protein and energy snack recipe out of a desire to eliminate those expensive and so-called nutritious protein bars. I don't want all of the processed carbs that are hidden in them because, quite honestly, they aren't that healthy. These are really tasty and my whole family loves them. I recommend making them fairly small and bite-sized, as they can crumble a little as you're biting into them. Freezing or refrigerating them keeps the messiness down, but they won't spoil if left at room temperature. I eat 4 or 5 with a big glass of water and feel full!
