Raw 'Mitarashi Dango' (Raw version of the 'Traditional Japanese Sweets')

Raw 'Mitarashi Dango!' 

(Warning: Potently Sweet! / More like... 'みたら死ぬ団子!' )

Ingredients:
1 cup of cashew nuts
1 dinner spoonful of coconut oil (I used it for a flavor, and also couldn't wait for cashew's natural oil to form)
Honey (I used buckwheat honey for darker color, but it doesn't matter)
Soy sauce (Important ingredient to get the same taste as the real 'Mitarashi' sauce)

Direction:
Blend the nuts with coconut oil. Make round balls and stick them to the mini-skewers. Pour the honey/soy sauce (You might want to do this before placing the Dango on the plate to even out the sauce on the Dango.) Voila!

If you want 'less sweet,' use more soy sauce than honey. I'm thinking, next time, I would use Kudzu powder and heat up the sauce before putting it on the Dango.
