Guest guest Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 *Angela's Top Secret Chocolate Truffles!* *Rawdivas.com* ** *(I would add a little Simply SBGA to enhance the taste and the nutrition. Katharine)* Ingredients: 1 cup raw walnuts 2 tablespoons agave syrup 1 tablespoon vanilla flavor by Frontier 1/2 cup pitted soft dates 1/4 cup coconut water 2 tablespoons of raw carob 2 tablespoons raw cacao nibs Directions: Blend all the above ingredients except for the raw cacao nibs in a food processor until smooth. Mix in the raw cacao nibs by hand. Shape the mixture into truffle shapes, sort of like an egg shape. Dip each truffle in a mixture of 1/4 cup powdered raw cacao, 1 tablespoon raw Rapadura brand sugar, 1 tablespoon raw carob and 1 tablespoon raw coconut flakes. Grind the cacao, with the sugar, carob and coconut in a coffee mill or spice mill until it becomes a fine powder. Place each truffle into a paper candy wrapper and let sit in the fridge until ready to pack in a box. These keep well in the fridge or freezer, but can be left out initially for a few hours to give as a gift. -- Katharine Clark, RN.
