Delicious Raw Truffle Balls

Delicious Raw Truffle Balls

These chocolate-y treats are fantastic!  Teresa made them and brought them in to share with staff and patients.  One happy patient said “Two thumbs up!  I give my seal of approval!”

They taste like chocolate truffles but are full of healthy ingredients like dates and walnuts.  And best of all, they take 10 minutes to make from start to finish! 

This recipe is from the website www.youngandraw.com.

Ingredients:

½ cup Medjool dates (pitted)
1 cup walnuts (chopped)
3 tbsp cocoa powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
¼ tsp salt

Put all ingredients into a food processor and grind until you get a smooth texture. 

Roll dough into small balls.

Yields 12-16 balls.

Teresa suggests rolling them in organic shredded coconut or cocoa powder. 

Enjoy and share with family and friends!
