Date Walnut Carob Truffles

We are blessed to have a wonderful health food bulk store about one mile from our home. Bin after bin of grains, nuts, and dried fruits and vegetarian/health food needs.

Today after a visit to the store I came home and made these tasty little treats.

Date Walnut Carob Truffles
Ingredients

Serves 8

16 fresh dates, stoned

1 1/2 cups ground walnuts

4 tsp carob powder

freshly squeezed juice of 1 lime

Place the dates, walnuts, carob powder, lime juice in a food processor and blend until the mixture forms a stiff ball - adding more lime juice if necessary to help bring the mixture together. Remove blade and roll date mixture into balls. Roll each ball in fine unsweetened coconut. If you have slightly wet hands when rolling the balls, it works easier and the coconut sticks a bit better.
