I tried these from the site From Sad to Raw. They are great and really handle that sweet tooth. Thought you would like to try them. I did not use the sesame seeds. Also I put 1 cup coconut into the food processor first to shred it fine and then put it into a bowl so I can roll the balls into it.
Carob Almond Balls
1 c. sunflower seeds
1 c. raisins
2 T. raw honey
2 T. carob powder
1 c. almond butter
1/2 c. sesame seeds (optional)
In food processor, chop all seeds/nuts. Add remainder of ingredients to make smooth thick paste. Roll into 1" balls,(1 tablespoon size) then roll in finely shredded coconut.
Makes 2 dozen
*** note from Michelle: the sesame seeds are optional, but I suggest using them --- makes the texture like a Nestle Crunch Bar
