Honey Nut Balls

                   HONEY NUT BALLS

2 cups shelled nuts, any kind but almonds, walnuts or hazelnuts are super good
5 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon blackstrap molasses
3 tablespoons raisins
1 heaping tablespoon carob powder
3/8 cup unhulled sesame seeds
In a blender or grinder, grind the nuts into a fine flour and place in a mixing bowl. 
Add honey and molasses, raisins and mix very well.

Into another small bowl or saucer, measure the sesame seeds.

Into another small bowl measure the carob powder.
With gloves on your hands to prevent sticking, shape the honey-nut mixture into a 1-inch balls. One at a time, roll half the balls in carob powder until covered, and set on a piece of wax paper.

Roll the remaining balls in sesame seeds and set them directly onto a dish for serving.
After about 15 minutes, the honey will soak through the carob powder, now roll these carob coated balls into the sesame seeds also and set on the serving trays. Yield: 36 balls.

The blackstrap molasses adds a lot of minerals and iron!
