Almond Coconut Truffles

I have been trying to come up with a snack that does not have any added sugar, agave or any other sweetener. It is very tough to have a truly healthy snack other than a piece of fruit or some nuts. So, I came up with these fabulous truffles. The sweetness comes from dried dates and coconut. I added some almond meal and almond butter to bind everything together. Of course the unsweetened cocoa provides tremendous flavor!

• 10 dried dates, pitted and chopped to a paste in a food processor
• 1/3 cup almond meal
• ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa
• ¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon almond butter

Transfer all the ingredients to a small bowl. Mix well with fingers and form small truffles, about 10.
