Healthy Date Hops (Vegan)

My Grammie used to make Date-Hop cookies each Christmas. Not much to look at, but they are chewy and delicious, it just wouldn't be Christmas without them. This is a "healthy" no bake version that makes a great snack and incorporates the same flavors. I plan to use them to tempt Great Aunt Ally to come for another visit soon. :)

1 c pitted dates
1/2 c raisins
1/2 cup walnuts
1/4 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1/8 tsp cloves
tiny shake of salt
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Blend in cusinart until combined. Form into little bite sized balls, wrap in saran wrap and enjoy!
