These simple little raw chocolate truffles taste just like the real thing. Dates, walnuts, cacao, seeds and salt combine in a food processor. Roll them in cacao or dried coconut for extra pizzazz. Garnish with goji berries for added color.

Recipe Directions
- 1. Process the nuts/seeds in the food processor. Keep processing them until you can't see the nuts anymore, but stop processing before they get too soft looking.
- 2. Add the dates, seasalt and cocoa powder. Process again until everything is well mixed and clumped together.
- 3. Roll the balls in your hand and form balls. Some people like to roll completed truffles in goji berries, cocunut, cocoa powder, etc., but I prefer mine simple.
The Rawtarian's Thoughts
By The Rawtarian Raw chocolate truffles were the very first raw food that made me certain that I could become a raw vegan for an extended period of time.
This recipe just requires a food processor and a few ingredients.
These are also delicious if you crumble a truffle or two on top of sliced bananas or other chopped fresh fruit.
Good luck and enjoy these simple, sweet raw treats.

Copacker sought
Hi,
I represent a raw vegan chocolate company in NY. We are in a few whole food regions and sell thousands of bars. We do Tempered chocolates, truffles etc, and are looking for an automated copacker to manufacture 6 to 12 of our products. Cert organic is needed and kosher is a plus. Does anyone know of a copacker for truffles? Our products are vegan.
Thank You!

Newsflash -- This raw brownie recipe is WAY better than the above and you can make truffles with it too (but probably not as healthy)!!

Thanks for your comment, Amanda! I used to be addicted to this raw truffle recipe. I don't make it as often anymore, but it's comforting to know that I could whip up a batch of these raw truffles in about five minutes if I ever need a sugar fix. :)
