Larabar Pecan Pie Recipe: Healthy Pecan Pie Balls


Remember that time I did a Larabar review?  Larabars are one of my favorite healthy snacks and my flavor of choice is the Pecan Pie variety.  The only problem is, that particular variety is SO difficult to find.  I really have searched near and far, high and low to no avail.  So, I decided to take matters into my own hands and recreate this delicious treat.

The best part about this recipe, other than how closely the taste resembles a real pecan pie, is how easy it is to prepare.  With only TWO ingredients, it can not get any simpler!  This truly is the perfect on-the-go healthy treat!

Healthy Pecan Pie Balls

Ingredients
 1 cup pecans
1 cup pitted dates

Directions
 1. Chop pecans in a blender (I used my Ninja system) until all pieces are chopped finely.  Set aside in bowl

2. Chop dates in blender until it is a "mush" consistency.  Add to bowl with pecans and mix together.

 3.  Form into balls and enjoy!
