Breaking news, and great news for all you wiener dog lovers out there! The Food Pharmacy family has a new member – Taxi the dachshund. Taxi is tiny but fearless, and the cutest puppy we’ve ever seen.

Anyhow, today we’re making raw chocolate balls with orange and roasted sesame seeds (Taxi asked nicely, but did not get to taste).

Raw Chocolate Balls with Orange, Coconut and Roasted Sesame Seeds
(about 16 pieces)

12 dates
1 cup pumpkin seeds
4 Tbsp cacao powder
juice + zest from 1 orange
1/2 cup shredded coconut, roasted
1/2 cup roasted sesame seeds (for rolling)

Add all ingredients to a high speed blender and mix. Scoop out small amounts of the mixture and roll into balls, then roll each ball in roasted sesame seeds. Place in the fridge to set for at least two hours before serving.

Well, we might have eaten one before putting them in the fridge.
