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.

This is an easy and tasty recipe. The truffles are delicious, and I can't wait to let my family try them. I used what I had at home, so there were a lot of substitutions. I used 1/2 cup dates, 1/4 cup raisins and toasted sunflower seed nut butter rather than peanut butter. I used agave nectar rather than maple syrup. I only needed about 1 or 2 ounces of the coconut. I think this recipe can be adapted with almost any dried fruit that is very moist and other nut butters, especially almond.Reply
