Marissa's Hemp Clusters

Mostly equal parts, but some addition or subtraction may be required when mixing.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup chopped dates
• 1 cup hemp hearts
• 1/2 cup unsulphured, unsweetened coconut
• 1/2 cup crushed walnuts
• 1/2 cup peanut butter
• 1/2 cup almond butter
• 1/4 cup maple syrup

METHOD

1. Add a little water to your whole dates and warm them gently to make chopping them easier, or use pre-chopped dates (but rinse them with warm water first)
2. To your dates, add the walnuts, coconut, and hemp and mix
3. Next, add your nut butters and maple syrup and mix again. Here you may need to add more syrup or nut butter to get your clusters to stick together.
4. Once they seem to be holding together, either spread them on a wax paper covered cookie sheet and place in the fridge or freezer, or shape them into ball-like clusters and place them in muffin tin liners to be cooled.
