 Almond Joy Truffle Bites

Ingredients:

• 6 Dates (Pitted)
• 1/4 Cup Almonds
• 2 Tbsp Shredded Coconut (Unsweetened) 
• 1 Tbsp + 2 tsp Cocoa Powder (Unsweetened)
• 1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract
• 1-2 tsp Coconut Oil (Melted)
• (Optional) 1 tsp Agave Nectar

Topping:
Mix together and set aside:

• Shredded Coconut (Unsweetened, Fine Shred)
• Chopped Almonds

Directions:

1. In a food processor or a high powered blender (like a vita-mix), blend first 5 ingredients until they are a fine powder or start forming a dough.
2. If your ingredients have already formed a dough you do not need to add any coconut oil. If not, add coconut oil and blend until a dough forms.
3. Taste the dough and see if it is sweet enough for you, if not, add some agave nectar and blend until combined.
4. Form dough into balls, then roll in the topping mixture to cover.
5. Put balls in the refrigerator/freezer to let them harden a little bit before serving.
