Holiday Truffles

This is one of our favorite holiday goodie recipes... Holiday Truffles! 

No added sugar
No high fructose corn syrup
No butter
No artificial anything
Just the pure sweet goodness of pitted dates combined with cocoa and vanilla!  

Don't knock 'em until you try them... they're a HUGE hit with anyone who has ever tasted them! 

They are equally as yummy if you omit the coconut, or substitute walnuts for the pecans. 

Tools You’ll Need:

•        Food processor
•        Measuring cups
•        Measuring spoons

Ingredients:

•        1 cup of pecans
•        1 ½ cup of medjol dates (pitted)
•        ¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
•        4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
•        1 teaspoon vanilla extract
•        1/8 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions:

1. Plug in your food processor and place all ingredients in it.
2. Grab a small handful of dough and roll it into a ball (each truffle of mine was about 1″ x 1”)
3. Repeat step 2 until your entire dough is gone.
4. Eat up or, if you want to save them for later, place truffles on a plate and refrigerate.
