For the base:
1 1/2 cups of raw walnuts
1 cup of pitted dates (I like Medjool)
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Pinch of Salt
Blend all in a blender until combined. This amount is perfect for a 9 inch round spring form pan. I needed more for my 9 x 13 pan. Line pan with parchment paper. Press mixture in the bottom of parchment paper. Chill in the refrigerator.
Seed one pomegranate. I blend all the seeds in the blender, then put it all in a sieve. Saving the juice and fruit as much as possible, push seeds up against the sieve to separate the seeds from the fruit. Discard seeds. A squeeze of lemon brightens the fruit, but is not required.
Toast one cup of pecans for 8-10 minutes in a 350 degree oven. Blend in the blender until pecans turn into butter. Salt to taste.
For White Chocolate fudge:
3 Cups of White Chocolate
1 can of Sweetened Condensed Milk (14 oz.)
1/4 cup of butter
Place all fudge ingredients in a microwave safe bowl and microwave on high for two minutes, stirring halfway through cooking time. Cooking/melting over a bain-marie is also fine.
Pour a white chocolate base over the date crust (less than half of the mixture). Spoon pecan butter on to white chocolate. Pour pomegranate onto pecan butter. Pour remaining white chocolate fudge over pecan butter and pomegranate. Use a knife to swirl pecan butter pomegranate and fudge. Refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours, best if left to cool over-night.
Remove from pan to cut into squares.
Can be stored at room temperature in an air-tight container for up to four weeks.

Upon Camel's Knees
Mark 10:25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of the needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God. NIV
In today's culture, one may be inclined to believe that the "eye of the needle" Jesus meant belonged to a sewing needle for clothing. Actually, in the time of Jesus, cities were protected by tall walls. There was a large opening for people to go in and out to do business, buy and sell, etc. during the day. At night, a large gate was lowered to close the opening and protect the city. If a traveler came to the city after the gate had been shut, there was a small door next to the gate just large enough for a man to pass through. Therefore, if a traveler came with a camel, all the possessions the camel carried had to be removed. The camel was made to get on its knees and inch through the small door. Once the camel went through the door, the man had to carry all of his possessions through the door to enter the city. The door was call the "eye of the needle."
This is important information because in our human world, the camel going through the eye of a sewing needle is more of a fantasy. Jesus told parables based on true earthly laws, so that we could relate to what He was teaching. Just as when Jesus said, "Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go through yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. Mark 11:23 It is common knowledge that in the Middle East, a mountain is a symbol for a problem.
If Jesus does not teach based in reality, then parables with information about the spirit realm are called into question. Such as the parable about the beggar named Lazarus and the rich man who both died in Luke 16:19-31. I believe Jesus gives us a glimpse of the real afterlife. If all of the parables of Christ were based in reality, then what is described in Luke 16:19-31 was also based in reality and prophetic vs. 31 "If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead."
The Lord did say, (Mark 10:27) "With man this is impossible, but not with God; with God all things are possible." So, I could get to heaven and the Lord could say to me, "No Shannon, I did mean a sewing needle."
