Delicious Healthy Truffles

These make a great snack or dessert. I keep them in a bowl in the fridge, covered, for about three days, and my family munches one or two when they want a bit of something instead of having a piece of chocolate or a cookie. I adapted the recipe from George Mateljan's World's Healthiest Foods website.

• Ready In: 15 mins
• Yields: 12 truffles

Ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup  pitted prunes
• 1⁄4 cup pitted dates
• 2  tablespoons peanut butter
• 1 1⁄2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 3  tablespoons  unsweetened cocoa
• 1⁄2 cup unsweetened flaked coconut

Directions

1. Chop dates and prunes into small pieces, then squish together with a fork (use a sturdy, large bowl).
2. Add peanut butter and maple syrup and mix together.
3. Add cocoa and mix thoroughly.
4. Roll mixture into bite-size pieces and roll in coconut to cover.
5. Refrigerate and eat!
