3pm Power Balls

These power balls are a perfect treat when you need a little something to keep you going. You can chop and change the ingredients to suit your tastes. I often add goji berries for a nice burst of colour and flavour. I like things really chocolately so I used quite a bit of cocoa and then a bit of honey to temper the bitterness. I've called these 3pm Power Balls because I often find I need an energy burst at that time of day, but they are so delicious I eat them at all hours! 

1 cup raw almonds

1 cup pecans

3 heaped tbspn raw cacao
