Vegans can have fun, too...

In a food processor on slow and thick, chop
2 cups of nuts (walnuts, almonds, cashews, macadamia, hazelnuts, et cetera)
2 Tablespoons of vanilla balsamic vinegar (or 1 tsp vanilla plus enough water to make 2 T)
1 cup pitted dates
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
2 Tablespoons booze (rum, bourbon, cognac, grand marnier, frangelico, or a mix)

Roll into balls. Perhaps you'll get a dozen or so depending how big you make them.

Put in freezer with a pretty bow.

Lick hands.
