Carob Bites - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3/4 3/4 cup cashews or 3/4 cup peanuts
1 1 cup raisins or 1 cup dried apricot
1/4 cup carob powder
1/2 vanilla beans or 1/2 few drops vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
1 pinch cayenne pepper (optional)

Preparation

Place all ingredients in a food processor and process until you get a smooth and somewhat sticky mixture.
Check and see if it needs a spoonful of water to hold together, and if you don't think it's sweet enough, then add some of your favorite sweetener.
Pour the mixture into a bowl and using your palms, roll into bite size balls, or press the balls flat into cookies, or use molds if you want them to be a certain shape.
Decorate them with nuts or seeds or dried fruit. I placed a goji berry on top of each piece. Enjoy! : ).
