Raw Brownies

1 cup walnuts (or pecans - we threw in some almonds)
1 cup dates
1/4 cup cocoa powder
pinch of good salt

Food process until consistency you desire. Then pat into a pan (fits nicely in 8-inch round cake pan). Warning: pay attention to your food processor, and put the little shield thing in before you start it. Also, despite the rave reviews on the recipe sites - these ARE NOT REAL BROWNIES! Although, a few servings in, they do taste pretty dang good. We had ours with icing on top.

Raw Icing:
1 cup dates
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/4 cup coconut oil
3/4 cup water

Apparently you are supposed to blenderize this, but because the food processor was already dirty (and I didn't remember in time), it got processed. This was yummy. And another one that grows on you.

Just think - you can totally eat the whole pan and feel good about it! Nothing but healthy :)
