Cherry-Ginger-Almond Drops

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (packed full) pitted dates (Deglet or Medjool)
  • 1 cup dried cherries
  • 1/2 cup sliced candied ginger
  • 1/2 cup plus 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/3 cup raw almonds
  • 1/4 cup almond butter
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 cups crispy brown rice cereal

Instructions

Place the dates, cherries, and ginger in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped.

Add 1/2 cup of the coconut, the almonds, almond butter, coconut oil, and salt and pulse until chopped but not too finely chopped.

Add the cereal and give it a few quick mini pulses only to combine (you don’t want to completely crush the cereal).

Using the palms of your hands, squeeze and form into two-bite-size drops.

Roll in the remaining 1/4 cup of coconut.
