Water

2.5 cups Walnuts

1/4 cup coconut flakes (optional)

2. Soak chia seeds in about 1/4 cup of water for about 10 minutes
3. IN FOOD PROCESSOR, add dates, chocolate, chia seeds, maple syrup and vanilla.  Mix until you have a paste – you might need to add some of the date water if the mixture is too thick.
4. Then slowly add 2 cups of walnuts and coconut, pulse those in with food processor.
5. Set aside the mixture in a separate bowl and process the remaining 1/2 cup of walnuts until crushed up into small pieces (you may need up to a cup, depending on size of bites)
