Makes 24

Ingredients:
1 Cup Almonds
1 Cup Hazelnuts 
1 C Cherries, pitted and coarsely chopped
3 T Almond butter, or any other preferred nut butter (Use tahini for nut free option- school lunch boxes!)
1 T 100% pure maple syrup or raw honey
1/2 tsp Cinnamon 
1/4 tsp Cayenne pepper
Pinch of salt
Desiccated coconut for dusting

Note: for those chocolate fans among us, swap out 1/4 C of ground nuts and add 1/4 C cacao powder for a choco hit

Method:
Grind the nuts together (food processor/thermomix/blender) until they resemble a bread crumb like consistency 
Add them to a mixing bowl with all other ingredients and massage thoroughly until the mixture forms into a dough (gloves are recommended!)
Pinch away small amounts of the dough at a time and roll between palms to form little balls
Roll in coconut and place in the fridge/freezer to set for 3 hours or more
These will last 3 weeks in the fridge, and 3 months in the freezer
