Ingredients
- 12 ounce pitted Medjool Dates about 1 1/2 cups
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup coconut oil melted
Coating
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions
- First, add pitted dates, cocoa powder, vanilla and melted coconut oil to a high speed blender or food processor.
- Blend until mixture resembles a paste.
- Using a small cookie scoop, scoop balls of dough onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Roll dough between palms to create little spheres.
- Place pan in freezer for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, add chocolate and coconut oil to a microwave safe dish. Microwave in 30 seconds increments until melted, stopping to stir between each increment.
- Remove pan from freezer. Using tongs, dip each ball of dough into melted chocolate until completely covered. Place coated truffle back onto the baking sheet.
- Continue for remaining dough. Sprinkle each with sea salt if desired.
- If desired, roll some balls of dough into cocoa powder instead of melted chocolate.
- Return pan to the freezer for at least 10 minutes or until chocolate coating has hardened.
