A quick Google search turned up Jennifer's recipe:

(just scroll down a bit to page 140).

What tweaks did you make? They sure sound good! *Ü*

Yes, that's the recipe!!!

I don't know if it's the dry climate I'm in(Arizona), but whenever a raw recipe says that a mixture should stick together, it never does for me. So I added a couple tablespoons of raw honey, and I added a couple tablespoons of cacao nibs. I also kept it in the food processor a little longer, because I didn't want big chunks of nuts.

I can't wait to bring these to work tomorrow. I know they're going to go over well, even for SAD eaters. ;)

Did you dehydrate these? The recipe says just to refrigerate. Is that what you did? Thanks

I made these. They came together really quickly and had a very nice, simple almond flavour.

I rolled them into balls and refrigerated them. I answered my own questions (above). Thanks for pointing me to this great recipe.
