Ingredients:
2 medium carrots
12 dates (or 1/2 cup), pitted, chopped

1/4 cup macadamia nuts or walnuts
1 teaspoon real vanilla
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

Method:
1. Blend the carrots and the dates together in a food processor for about 2 to 3 minutes or until evenly combined.
2. Add the pecans and macadamia nuts and process for another 2 to 3 minutes or until a smooth texture forms. Scrape down the sides of the processor bowl as needed.
3. Add the vanilla and all the spices and blend until combined.
4. Form the balls by rolling the carrot mixture into 18 balls, about 1 inch in diameter each.
5. Spread the coconut flakes on a plate and roll the balls in the flakes to coat evenly.
