These pretty, very tasty truffles are made from surprisingly healthy ingredients!
Makes Approx. 12 Truffles.
1. Soak the dates in boiling water for 5 mins and then drain. In a food processor, mix all the truffle ingredients together to form a thick paste, it should be sticky but not too sticky to handle.
2. Roll into walnut sized balls and chill until they are a little firmer.
3. Melt the chocolate and either dip the firm truffles into the chocolate to half coat them, or just drizzle the chocolate over the top of the truffles on a tray.
4. Best kept refrigerated. Eat within 1 week or freeze.
