This is my new favorite snack / dessert. I have a couple of my boys hooked on these too. They’re a four ingredient, all natural, sweet treat. We keep ours in the freezer, but keeping them in the refrigerator will make them slightly easier to eat. I could eat these day and night.

Our boys just got home from their first semester away in college. The pandemic didn’t make it easy for them, but I am so grateful to have them home. The house is full again!

Pulse the oats and cashews in a food processor until they form a flour. Add the pitted dates and cinnamon to the food processor. Blend until everything forms a sticky dough. Roll the mixture into 12 balls and refrigerate for an hour to set, then store refrigerated in an airtight container.
