Time 20m

Yield 15 servings (about 30 bites)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups Medjool dates, pitted
1 1/2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup unsalted roasted whole almonds
1/3 cup whole golden flax seeds
Kosher salt
3/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
1/4 cup almond butter (or your preferred nut butter)
1/3 cup cacao nibs

Steps:

  • Place the dates in a medium bowl and cover with warm water (about 100 degrees F). Let sit for 2 minutes. Drain well and place in a food processor with the oats, almonds, flax seeds and 1 teaspoon salt. Process until the oats and almonds are minced, about 2 minutes. Add 1/2 cup coconut flakes, the almond butter and cacao nibs and blend until fully incorporated, scraping the sides of the food processor down as needed, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Shape the mixture into 2 tablespoon-sized balls (a 1-ounce scoop works well here). Once all of the mixture has been shaped, place the remaining 1/4 cup of coconut flakes in a small bowl and roll each ball in the coconut flakes to fully coat. Store in an air-tight container for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.

These melt-in-your-mouth morsels are dainty dynamos. Making the fudge-a mix of marshmallows, chocolate, and milk-is literally a flash in a pan. Then, simply form them into balls and roll in snazzy toppings like freeze-dried raspberries, pistachios, toasted walnuts, and peppermints.

Time 2h

Yield Makes 5 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 9

Vegetable-oil cooking spray, for pan
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 packed cups mini marshmallows, or cut-up regular marshmallows (6 ounces)
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup whole milk
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
12 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 cup pulverized peppermint candies; or finely chopped toasted walnuts; or finely chopped pistachios; or ground freeze-dried raspberries (or a combination of all four)

Steps:

  • Lightly spray a 9-by-9-inch cake pan with cooking spray. Line with 2 crisscrossed pieces of parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang. Spray parchment. In a saucepan, combine butter, marshmallows, sugar, milk, and salt.
  • Cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until marshmallows have melted, 6 to 7 minutes. Stir in vanilla. Remove from heat; stir in chocolate until melted. Pour mixture into prepared pan. Let cool 30 minutes, then refrigerate until set, at least 1 hour and up to 3 days.
  • Using overhang, lift fudge onto a cutting board; cut into 1-inch squares. With rubber-gloved hands, to prevent fudge from becoming too slippery and messy, roll into balls (if mixture is very cold, it may crumble a bit; just let it warm slightly first), then roll in desired toppings as you go. Refrigerate until firm, 1 hour. (To make ahead, place balls in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate up to 3 days.)
