Chocolate Truffles

We got this recipe from our friend Victoria Boutenko's book "12 Steps to Raw Foods". http://www.amazon.com/12-Steps-Raw-Foods-Dependency/dp/1556436513/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1266266195&sr=8-3
She calls them Sergei's Amazing Truffles. These are great for either dessert or a travel snack. They're small so you can easily pack them in a lunch for easy snacking or enjoy them after dinner. We like to cover them in either carob or coconut, but you can top with fresh fruit or whatever strikes your fancy. It's a pretty easy recipe with few ingredients, just be prepared to get your hands dirty, but don't worry, these make for guilt free bowl licking when you're done.

Chocolate Truffles;
1 cup Raw Walnuts
1/2 cup pitted dates
1/4 cup young coconut water(you can also use regular water if you like)
4 TBS Raw Carob

Blend the dates and walnuts in a food processor until smooth.
In a bowl mix in the carob and coconut water. Shape the mixture into small balls and roll in carob or coconut.

Usually makes around 8-12 truffles.
