  • 1 tsp baking cocoa
  • 4 tsp erythritol (sugar substitute)

Vegan, vegetarian, low carb, lactose-free, egg-free

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). Soak the cranberries, whole almonds, and pecans in lukewarm water for about 1 hour. Drain the water and blend everything in a food processor with the cinnamon, sugar substitute, cocoa powder, and cocoa nibs (in a food processor for about 15 seconds on speed 6). Form the mixture into balls and roll them in the ground almonds. Place the finished balls on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for about 10 minutes, turning frequently. Depending on the size, you’ll make about 20-30 balls, each with a Christmassy flavor of cinnamon and roasted almonds. They’ll have a firmer consistency. The balls can be refrigerated for about two weeks.
