Make. These. Now.

October 13, 2009 by Chocolate-Covered Katie

They’re raw.

They’re sinful sinless.

They’re delicious… and totally addictive. Don’t say I didn’t warn ya.

A few weeks ago, after writing a post on the fact that they’re discontinuing one of my favorite chocolate energy bars, I set out to try and recreate said chocolate bars. With only five ingredients, it couldn’t be too difficult, could it?

As it turned out, the results didn’t taste like the packaged bars… mine tasted better!

(For once, eating raw dough is not only allowed, it’s highly recommended )

Don’t let the diminutive size fool you; these babies are jam-packed with fudgey deliciousness. More chocolatey than Clif Nectar bars, more chocolatey than Larabar Jocalats… it’s like popping balls of pure chocolate bliss straight into your mouth. They’re so rich and decadent that even a tiny taste is enough to satisfy a skyscraper-sized chocolate craving.

But the fudge babies are so healthy that you don’t even have to stop after a tiny taste.

It’s hard to believe something so good for you—with zero added sugars and unnatural ingredients—can taste so sinful.

(They also happen to be quite a bit less expensive than Jocalats, Nectars, and many other such chocolate bars.)

Fudge Babies

(Serves… depends on how good bad non-existent your self-control is)

I rolled these into balls, but if you want true brownies, simply shape the dough into bars instead.

Ingredients:

1 c walnuts (120 grams)
1 and 1/3 cups pitted dates (230 grams) (If you want a sweeter result, up the proportion of dates.) (If you’re unsure as to what dates to use, or you want measurements in cups, not grams, see this post)
1 tsp vanilla extract
3-4 tablespoons cocoa powder, depending on how chocolatey you want the balls to be (I used 4T extra dark)

Directions:

1. Chop/blend all the ingredients, using a food processor, Magic Bullet, etc.

2. Roll into cutey-pie little balls. (Use plastic wrap if you need to.)

**Update*** Version 2:

Hot Cocoa Fudge Babies!

I’ve been toying around with the original recipe. Here is my newest-favorite variation:

30 grams cashews, 80 grams dates, 5 grams (1T) dark cocoa powder. Blend. Even fudgier than the original!

(Add mint extract and cacao nibs and you’re getting into Wild Bar territory. And if you leave out the cocoa, you have a homemade Cashew Cookie Larabar!)

Let’s talk flavors/variations!

So far, I’ve only made these plain (I know, I’m boring), but they have so much potential:

Add shaved coconut, mini chips, nuts, or raisins to the mix
Moisten truffles, then roll in cocoa powder, sugar, coconut, crushed nuts, etc.
Add oils or extracts, such as mint or coconut
Sprinkle in some ground coffee for a java jolt
Extreme Chocoholic Version: Melt some chocolate and add it to the mix when you add the vanilla and cocoa.

Cool things to do with Fudge Babies:

1. Play basketball… with your mouth as the net.

2. Throw them at your little brother. No wait. Don’t. They’re too good to waste like that.

3. Have a Fudge-Baby-Eating contest. Say that the winner gets more Fudge Babies. Make sure you win.

4. Roll up lots of Fudge Babies for Halloween and give to the neighborhood kids keep them all to yourself.

Seriously, if you like chocolate, you will NOT regret making these fudge babies.

They’re easy, inexpensive, healthy for ya, and deeeelicious.

I just made another batch as a (inexcusably-belated) thank-you to the nicest girl in the world who has brightened my day so many times in the last few months.

Of course, I ensured there’d be many, many leftovers.

those look fantastic!!! i bet they’d be a HUGE hit at a family party or thanksgiving… plus, they’re actually a great healthy lil’ snack! thanks for sharing such a yummy recipe.
on October 13, 2009 at 2:26 pm Abby

Wow, Katie, those looks incredibly rich! I like how few ingredients there are AND that they are a lot cheaper than always buying lara’s and cliff’s! NICE WORK
on October 13, 2009 at 2:27 pm Anonymous

Oh, yum! Raw energy balls are so delicious. I have never tried Nectar Clif bars but your variation looks amazing. Mmm… I’ll have to make some for our trip this weekend.

Do you think these fit in the category of liquids and gels or should I be able to take them on as food? I never know with American airport security – they scare me.
on October 13, 2009 at 2:27 pm The voracious Vegan

Intensely, super, amazing, decadent chocolate!?!?! YES PLEASE! I will definitely be making these!
on October 13, 2009 at 2:29 pm jcd

Oooh, my mouth is doing a happy dance just looking at those! I’ve never thought to add cocoa powder to raw energy balls before – you’re brilliant!
on October 13, 2009 at 2:36 pm Chocolate-Covered Katie

Hey Anonymous,

Ugh, airport security can be ridiculous, right? I mean, I know they have good intentions, but how on earth can, say, a jar of peanut butter be a dangerous item? Well… I guess it’s dangerous because it’s so easy to eat the whole jar and OD .

But to answer your question, I don’t see how anyone could classify the chocolate balls (or bars, if that’s how you choose to shape them) as liquids. They’re definitely solid.

Love,
Katie
on October 13, 2009 at 2:40 pm Whitney @ Lettuce Love

Wow! I am making these this weekend. My life needs this chocolate wonderfulness.
on October 13, 2009 at 2:45 pm Averie (LoveVeggiesAndYoga)

Yes great minds do think alike!!!!!!!!!
We have both created and posted a really similar recipe….within 12 hours of each other

My donut holes are just flax, maple, cocoa, vanilla.

But I also make my “raw vegan brownies” which I have tagged, but I make them in a sheet rather than bars…anyway, those are dates, walnuts, cocoa, agave. Very similar to these of yours, just how I shape them is a sheet not a ball. Cuz sometimes I am too impatient to roll into balls and just use bars instead

Great recipe from one chocolate un-baker to another!

xoox
on October 13, 2009 at 3:05 pm jen molica

right on, katie. will do this weekend and i WILL, i swear WILL post a picture of me hugging a carb. do these count? i think so since the sweet=a carb.

on October 13, 2009 at 3:53 pm vegancowgirl

Katie! THanks for this recipe – I am SOOO making these this week. Love all of the ingredients. Also, wanted to say THANKS for the frozen grape idea…finally got around to doing it and LOVE the results.
on October 13, 2009 at 3:59 pm Nora

I was gonna say, haha it’s unfortunately not okay to give homemade stuff to trick or treaters bc you look sketchy! the sad truth that giving homemade healthy snacks is seen as creepy while giving cruelty-laden crap full of corn syrup is friendly and normal. they’d be great for a party though!
on October 13, 2009 at 4:20 pm Gina

Mmm..so simple and so perfect. Reminds me of the Love Force bars I found a few weeks ago (but they are uber expensive).

I don’t have any dates though (I eat them all if they’re around), so I’ll have to pick some up for these because I have been super craving chocolate lately!!
on October 13, 2009 at 4:41 pm Bianca- Vegan Crunk

First of all, I can’t believe they’re discontinuing Nectar bars!!! That blows!

But at least you made this awesome recipe to take their place. I’m seriously making these next raw day … if I can wait that long!
on October 13, 2009 at 5:03 pm *Andrea*

fudge babies…how cute!! they look superrrfabulous.
on October 13, 2009 at 5:14 pm Krista

Looking good, Katie!!!
on October 13, 2009 at 5:31 pm Melinda

Sounds awesome. Nice work. Looks like you put a lot of effort into recreating and then perfecting the bar.
on October 13, 2009 at 6:11 pm Maria

Ack, Katie, I knew you would make something this awesome (as always!). Sounds amazing, simple, and chocolate covered for sure Aka perfecto!
on October 13, 2009 at 6:14 pm Vegyogini

I’d add fresh-grated ginger or finely-chopped crystallized ginger to these delicious babies!
on October 13, 2009 at 6:15 pm Vanilla

OMG

I can’t wait to try these.

Do you think I can use almonds or cashews? I’m not a fan of walnuts…
on October 13, 2009 at 6:18 pm teenagedvegan

mmmMmmmMmm they look so good! It’s a shame that walnuts cost so much where I am
on October 13, 2009 at 6:20 pm Marina

Damn it, I knew I forgot something I made those today, but with cashews and almonds, and a few cranberries. I forgot vanilla And I made too little of it But it’s delichttp://www.livelaugheat.com/2009/10/13/snacks-on-a-bed/#commentsious
on October 13, 2009 at 6:23 pm Runningwriter

YUM! You are so clever. I just made these (using almonds though because I don’t have walnuts) and I didn’t even get to sit down with one because I kept sampling them as I rolled the balls. Delicious. And lucky for me my husband thinks nuts shouldn’t be mixed with chocolate so they’ll be all mine!!!
on October 13, 2009 at 6:26 pm The Foodie Diaries

Ok, I am not even a chocolate girl (seriously)–and I want these. Now.
on October 13, 2009 at 7:02 pm Kelly

Oh my gosh, Katie, you’re killing me! These look AMAZING. I want to try the Extreme Chocoholic Version!
on October 13, 2009 at 7:13 pm Jenny R.

you’re so creative!!! it’s so smart that you made these b/c you save so much $$ on bars by doing that…like you said. I’m gonna try them with carob and see how it goes. mmm cravings now…
on October 13, 2009 at 7:20 pm Kiersten

I bet those are amazing! They’re similar to the homemade chocolate Larabars I posted about today, but in ball-form. Adding ground coffee to them is a great idea, I know I would LOVE that.
on October 13, 2009 at 8:09 pm Diana (Soap & Chocolate)

Sounds divine! Under things to do with fudge babies, I especially like #1. I think that basically describes my life-food philosophy.
on October 13, 2009 at 8:33 pm Marina

ups, I just noticed a slip on my previous comment. Sorry about that
on October 13, 2009 at 8:43 pm tabitha

gold star for katie today!
mmmmmmmmmm
easy and pretty healthy really

on October 13, 2009 at 9:04 pm Jenny

WHY DO I NOT HAVE DATES IN MY HOUSE RIGHT NOW?! bahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I’m seriously considering heading to the grocery store just for the sake of making these. You’re killing me, smalls!
on October 13, 2009 at 9:38 pm DJ

These look amazing! I made raw fudge along similar lines recently and it was too good!
on October 13, 2009 at 10:41 pm Jenna N

Hey Katie,
I’ve never commented before but I’ve been lurking your site for awhile now and decided to finally comment when I saw these amazing looking chocolate recipe When I get all these ingrediants i will defintelytry this! Would another nut besides walnuts work you think?
on October 13, 2009 at 10:46 pm Bekah

These look so good! I love how cocoa makes everything more chocolatlely and delicious with almost zero added fat/calories. YUM! I will def have to try this recipe. Way to go again Miss Katie.
on October 14, 2009 at 12:11 am anonymous

so cute and clever!
on October 14, 2009 at 12:57 am Katharina

OMG! You are seriously.. I love you! Not just because of the awesome food you make lol but also the way you write and just.. these ideas that come out of you! Like the ideas of what to do with them. BASKETBALL NET! ohhh yeah. I think I will do the eating contest.. my friends had one with mashed potatoes not too long ago. But I think they will love this!

XO
on October 14, 2009 at 2:33 am Amanda

oh Katie! You did it! You made your own bar!! **high fives** I can’t wait to try these!
on October 14, 2009 at 2:35 am Michelle

All hail thee. I tried, and failed, to recreate Nectars a little while ago. I used Gherideli chocolate instead of coco powder… BIG mistake. They were so strong, you could literally only take about one tiny bite. No good. I am throwing them out tonight, and tomorrow, will use your version. Thanks
on October 14, 2009 at 2:38 am Emily

yes please to these fudge babies! definitely bookmarked this ccv creation!
on October 14, 2009 at 2:51 am gina (fitnessista)

on October 14, 2009 at 4:03 am Anna

Yowza those look good! I love my Jocolat/Larabars, but they are pricy on a college budget. Such a fantastic and easy alternative

Love the blog and your culinary ideas!
on October 14, 2009 at 4:38 am J@WholeBodyLove

Oh, Katie these look insanely delicious!!! I may never bake brownies again!
on October 14, 2009 at 8:36 am Neela Marijana

once again thsi looks fabulous! and i love how you included some measurements for us europena folks that get damn confused with the whole cups and oz business
on October 14, 2009 at 12:43 pm Justine

Thats exactly how I made my raw brownie pie!! Isnt it delish? I fed it to non health eating people and they had no idea it was raw or vegan or much healthier than a regular chocolate pie. They loved it!! I think I might make one for Thanksgiving

~Justine
on October 14, 2009 at 1:02 pm Melissa

Oh. My. Gosh. These look great! I’m in the midst of a chocolate craving right now so I will be making these very soon! Thanks for sharing!

on October 14, 2009 at 1:52 pm Hani

I think I’d try them with a little cinnamon and maybe a pinch of chipotle chile powder added!
on October 14, 2009 at 2:12 pm alexis

These look ridiculously delicious. I want to try the coffee ones, or with chocolate/carob chips in them!
on October 14, 2009 at 2:13 pm Radioactivegan

The coconut variation sounds great You can add coconut to anything and make it better!
on October 14, 2009 at 2:14 pm *Andrea*

those look great!!! for a variation i might try adding cinnamon? not sure if they need any though, they look mighty delicious as is
on October 14, 2009 at 2:15 pm Angela K.

Those look delicious! I’d like to try ones with coffee and chocolate chips! They’d make a nice afternoon pick-me-up
on October 14, 2009 at 2:15 pm Alex

i think the coffee variation sounds delicious and energizing!
on October 14, 2009 at 2:17 pm Amanda

I definitely want to try the Extreme Chocoholic Version.
on October 14, 2009 at 2:19 pm Allison R.

MMMM def the coconut!
on October 14, 2009 at 2:25 pm Jessica

OMGosh I would definitely need the chocaholic version!!!
on October 14, 2009 at 2:25 pm Nicole

When i read your blog yesterday i wrote down your recipe. I plan on making the plain fudgy ones! Please enter my name in your give-a-way! Good luck everyone!!
on October 14, 2009 at 2:26 pm Diana (Soap & Chocolate)

When I win this giveaway you may make my fudge babies Wild Bar Mountain Mint flavor!
on October 14, 2009 at 2:29 pm Rachel

These look AMAZING!! What a perfect snack/dessert. I would definitely go for the extreme chocoholic version, with a little bit of chili powder. I go crazy for spicy chocolate and I can imagine how insanely good these would be with some heat!
on October 14, 2009 at 2:29 pm Leah

I would just like to try the original flavor!
on October 14, 2009 at 2:35 pm brandi

I think the original would be the best to try first! *crossing my fingers that I win this one*
on October 14, 2009 at 2:36 pm Heather

I would certainly like to try these! They look delightful. I’m thinking a mini mint carob chip fudge baby sounds absolutely purrrrrfect.
on October 14, 2009 at 2:37 pm Pure2Raw Twins

Wow great job… they look yummy and fudgy! Just the way I like them. I am a little obsessed with raw desserts
on October 14, 2009 at 2:46 pm Beth

I think the “rolled in sugar” variation sounds heavenly! I know I’m entering this contest, but either way, I have GOT to make these myself.
on October 14, 2009 at 2:49 pm Eliza

id like to see an “almond joy” fudge baby with almonds and coconut?

love you!xx
Eliza
on October 14, 2009 at 2:53 pm traynharder23

something mocha. with nuts. =D

or pumpkin chocolate!

OH! cocoa mole!
on October 14, 2009 at 2:58 pm Kate

I think I’m all about a mint variation. And in my head I’m trying to come up with a way to make them cookies and creme but I haven’t been able to work it out.

Love the almond joy idea on the post about me. Yummers!
on October 14, 2009 at 2:58 pm Suzanne

I’d totally go with your recipe plus some mint extract for a thin mint combo
on October 14, 2009 at 3:01 pm keri410

peanut butter fudge balls! YUM! Or mint fudge!
XO!
on October 14, 2009 at 3:07 pm jhocutt

perhaps with a light splash of coconut…yum.
on October 14, 2009 at 3:25 pm Danielle

I think they would taste great with some coconut or dried raisins…or figs!
on October 14, 2009 at 3:26 pm Lori

I’ve got to get some walnuts and make these!! I think I would stick with your original recipe so as not to take away from the chocolate. YUM! After that maybe I would experiment with adding some peanut butter…
on October 14, 2009 at 3:42 pm stephanie p

These look awesome! Would love to try some with a bit of mint extract. Yum!
on October 14, 2009 at 3:42 pm Leah

I would definitely add some instant espresso powder in for a java kick!
on October 14, 2009 at 4:05 pm Heather Eats Almond Butter

For me?!?! Oh my gosh, so excited. Clearing out a hiding place right now so CD doesn’t find them.

LOVE YOU KATIE!
on October 14, 2009 at 4:19 pm Stacie

Would love to try the Coconut and Extreme Chocoholic Version–can’t decide they both sound awesome!
on October 14, 2009 at 4:23 pm Valerie

They look delicious as they are! But I would love to try them with coconut mixed in, then rolled in coconut as well. YUM!
on October 14, 2009 at 4:23 pm ClubVeg

ummm. amazing recipe and giveaway!! (:

would love to try the coconut covered ones!
on October 14, 2009 at 4:40 pm Rachel

I would like to try the extreme chocoholic version, of course!
on October 14, 2009 at 4:42 pm Lulu

Those look soooo good! I’d love to try them with coconut and pecans, like a german chocolate cake larabar <3
on October 14, 2009 at 4:58 pm Nora

i’d like a version with coconut AND coffee!!
on October 14, 2009 at 4:59 pm Jessica

Wow, do these look good! I want to try a version with raw almond butter mixed in!
on October 14, 2009 at 5:00 pm randomlymikey

Oooooooh, I’d really like a version with mint extract! I used to love After Eight but haven’t found a vegan version yet.
on October 14, 2009 at 5:12 pm Kristen @ Simply Savor

so much delicious flavors to choose from!! I’d love mine with some coconut or java flavors!! thanks for the giveaway Katie!
on October 14, 2009 at 5:32 pm tabitha

oh man, to pick only 1 combo?
peanut butter
mint

ummm

on October 14, 2009 at 6:17 pm Abby

So clever you are!! Id eat my fudge babies with raisins and walnuts.. mmmm
on October 14, 2009 at 6:21 pm LZ

Ooh those sound so good… a variation I’d love to try is with melted dark chocolate and chopped dried cherries mixed in!
on October 14, 2009 at 7:01 pm Ariel

I can’t wait to make these to share with my roommates! I wonder how the consistency would be with a ripe banana blended in– I’m imagining a raw vegan version of my mom’s recipe for cocoa-banana muffins.
on October 14, 2009 at 7:30 pm Heatherkind

Ohhhh coconut flavored ones sound SO freaking good. You just made my mouth water KAtie. These look amazing!
-Heather
on October 14, 2009 at 7:41 pm jillian

I’m all about the plain ones! They look pretty amazing without the variations
on October 14, 2009 at 7:42 pm Katie

Hmmm, here’s my OWN variation:

shredded coconut
macadamia nuts
vegan white chocolate chips

=)
yummmmm
on October 14, 2009 at 7:52 pm Mandie

yummm these look so good! congrats on another deliciously inventive recipe all of them sound good to me to be honest. i think the one with coffee might be my first choice (but really, do i *have* to choose… it’s just too hard) for a mocha flair. did you think of adding mint extract? i think that might be a nice addition to the list. i’ve always been a bit partial to mint. or maybe banana? okay, i know that sounds weird, but c’mon, i just tried your banana brulee idea and i can’t stop thinking about bananas =p.
on October 14, 2009 at 8:14 pm Grace

Coconut would probably be my favorite variation. Yum!
on October 14, 2009 at 8:26 pm Jennie

I like your Extreme Chocoholic idea. Sounds perfect!
on October 14, 2009 at 8:28 pm buffmuffy

omg . i want some now. please let me win!!! ahhh!!!
i think mini choco chips and coconut would be DELICIOUS in these!!! YUM!
-muffy
on October 14, 2009 at 8:32 pm Sarah

What a difficult choice?! I might have to choose coffee so they would serve double-duty of being yummy and giving me a caffeine boost to help me through some grad-school late nights!

You’re the best with all of these giveaways… one of these days I’ll win and I’ll think you’re even beter
on October 14, 2009 at 8:41 pm Michal

These look amazing tasty and way simple too! I would love to try a little bit of coconut oil or flavoring with raisins. Is that a weird combo? For some reason that combination sounds amazing to me at the moment
on October 14, 2009 at 8:46 pm Shelby

I would LOVE to try mint cocolate balls! I bet it would be just like a Wildbar! Yum!
on October 14, 2009 at 8:53 pm Jenna H

these look so good! i would love to try them with coconut!
on October 14, 2009 at 8:59 pm JessicaR

Ooh… maybe with some shredded coconut and mini-peanut butter chips

I’d love to try the extreme chocoholic version…you can never have too much chocolate
on October 14, 2009 at 10:42 pm Chelsea

Hm…. I think these look so good, I’m going to have to make some RIGHT NOW! I’ll have to use pecans since I don’t have walnuts (and my mom is allergic). Ah! I’m so excited to eat these!
on October 14, 2009 at 10:57 pm Maria

I think I would like them plain, or even the extreme chocoholic version Peanut butter swirled in would be yummy too!
on October 14, 2009 at 10:57 pm lola

Yummy!!! I’d love to try the original version, but some with coconut flakes would be nice? or maybe roll them around a bing cherry?
on October 14, 2009 at 11:18 pm Becky

Mmmmmm! They look so decadent! I would love love love some with maybe coconut or some nuts? I don’t think you can go wrong with these babies.

Now I won’t have to miss my FAVORITE Clif Nectar bar
on October 14, 2009 at 11:35 pm Laura E

I would love if they had mint extract in them!! Thanks so much for the opportunity Do you think a mini food processor would work if I cut the recipe in half?
on October 14, 2009 at 11:45 pm Tiffany

Oh my gosh fudge babies with coconut sounds like the most AMAZING food to me! I will be making these regardless of if I win anyway
on October 14, 2009 at 11:46 pm Sharon

I would definitely add mint extract and mini-dark-chocolate chips!
on October 15, 2009 at 12:29 am Diann

Totally fantastic, Katie!
on October 15, 2009 at 12:40 am Suz

That looks soo good! And easy to make! I would add espresso and dark chocolate chips, yummm!
on October 15, 2009 at 1:04 am Meredith

Extreme chocoholic is definitely the one for me!
on October 15, 2009 at 1:35 am Bekah

Mmm yes I would love em just plain, more chocolate or espresooo. I also like the added crunch of an actual chocolate chip or carob chip. YUM.
on October 15, 2009 at 3:15 am veggie365

I’d love to try them straight up just as they are! They look awesome!!
on October 15, 2009 at 3:35 am Mara

or orange… adding orange zest.. and soaking the dates in OJ prior to blending them with the nuts and cocoa.

chili and lavender would be nice flavors as well

- a cashew version, with a hint of coffee (if I have money to spend, I’ll put some Bailey’s…muahaha!)
- or a peanut version (we can call them Reese’s babies!)

Katie, I don’t know if you read my post about the mint Jocalat bars, but something that makes me sad about Clif Nectar (besides the idea of them being discontinued) is that they didn’t have a Chocolate Mint bar. I would LOVE chocolate mint fudge babies! pick me pick me
on October 16, 2009 at 10:10 pm Animal-Friendly 79

These sound sooooooooo good! I think some sort of Mexican hot chocolate variation (with cinnamon and cayenne) would be awesome and perfect for fall.
on October 17, 2009 at 12:40 am Chocolate-Covered Katie

Hey Ann,
You can easily figure it out: Just add up all the calories of each individual item. They’re pretty comparable, gram for gram, to regular larabars. Sorry I can’t offer you specific numbers. I CAN tell you that you shouldn’t feel as guilty indulging in these as you would a normal truffle made with cream cheese and other such ingredients. (That being said, don’t eat the whole recipe in one sitting if you’re on a diet lol!)
