No Bake Brownie Truffles

We are always looking for small, sweet little snacks in our house that won't destroy our main purpose of eating healthy.  And when those little treats have NO added sugar & are Whole 30 compliant, well it makes all of us really happy.  

These Brownie Truffles are quick to make & even quicker to disappear!  Store them in the fridge for up to a week.


No Bake Brownie Truffles

ingredients

 10 large medjool dates, pitted

4 ounces, unsweetened baking chocolate bar

1-1/2 cups walnuts

2 tablespoons cashew butter

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 teaspoon salt

 

directions

place walnuts in a food processor & grind until small pieces are formed {see pic above to get an idea}

scoop out 1/3 cup of the walnut pieces & place into a small bowl, set aside

add in all the remaining ingredients except the chocolate & process until mostly smooth

melt the chocolate, either in a double boiler or in the microwave on 30 second intervals

pour the melted chocolate evenly around in the bowl of the food processor & turn it back on for about 7-10 seconds until everything blends together.  you may have to scrape the sides a little & pulse again.

using a cookie scoop, scoop out mixture & roll into balls then roll around in the walnut pieces.

place the balls on a parchment lined cookie sheet in the freezer for 10 minutes.

if you want to enjoy them right away then leave them on the counter about 5 minutes or store in the fridge for later.
