Vegan chocolate Cookie Dough Balls

Recipe seen on MindBodyGreen

16 oz cooked chickpeas, rinsed and drained
3 TBSP raw organic honey 
1 TBSP coconut palm sugar
1/8 tsp baking soda
4 TBSP raw organic almond butter (I used hazelnut butter)
2 tsp vanilla
Pinch sea salt (used Himalayan)
1 1/2 cups vegan chocolate chips (dark chocolate -just check ingredients)

1.  Combine chickpeas, honey, sugar, Baking soda, nut butter, vanilla, and sea salt in a food processor.( I used my blender and it worked fine)
2.  Remove to a bowl and stir in 1/2 cup chocolate chips.  Form into 1 inch balls and place on a parchment lined baking sheet.  Freeze until solid.  
3.  In a double boiler melt remaining chocolate.  Dip balls into chocolate sauce until covered.  Place back on parchment sheet and freeze until solid.
4.  Store in fridge.

( My children loved these and when they have a treat I much prefer it comes from natural ingredients)
