Cacao Nib Truffles

---

100 g cacao nibs

60 g sesame seeds

90 g dates - (stoned and soaked in a little water if dry)

1 tsp vanilla extract

2-3 drops extra virgin olive oil - if mixture seems dry

½ tsp Honey - optional, to taste

Cacao Powder, Sesame Seeds, Chia Seeds - for rolling

In a blender or food processor, blend the nibs and sesame seeds until they form a dry, crumbly mixture. It will not be smooth, rather it will be quite pleasantly textured.

Add the dates until finely processed. Depending on the age of the dates the mixture may take a while to process. Tip: soak them in a little hot water for an hour beforehand. 

You can now form the mixture into small balls, the size of walnuts, and roll them into some cocoa powder or sesame seeds, depending on your preference. You can also roll them in some finely chopped nuts, coconut, or chia seeds. 

Tip: No need to chill these before rolling
