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.

12 truffles (change servings and units)

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!

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.
