Yield: 16 bites

Ingredients

• ½ cup buckwheat groats
• 1 tsp vanilla extract (or bean)
• 2 tbsp cacao powder (or carob)
• 7 medjool dates
• 5-7 tbsp water

Instruction

1. Line a small container with saran wrap
2. Blend buckwheat groats in a high-speed blender or food processor until you get a fine consistency like flour.
3. Add vanilla extract, cacao and dates to the blender
4. Slowly add water as you blend.
5. Scoop out mixture and spread evenly in saran-lined pan.
6. Freeze overnight.
7. Cut into squares and store in an air-right container in the freezer.

If you’re not using fresh soft dates, soak them for an hour before. I wet my hands to make it easier to manage the fudge, it’s very sticky! You can also wet your hands and roll/shape fudge into balls/squares.
