I have a little treat in store for you this week. In my renewed commitment to be sugar-
In order to get through the hols with my sanity and waist-line in tact, I had a few sweet treats in my arsenal that completely saved me, and this was one of my faves... You can read the old post HERE.
Chocolate Date Truffle
2 cups pecans
toasted
1 cup dates
pitted (12-14)
1 tbsp coconut
oil
1/3 cup cocoa
powder
½ cup
coconut lightly toasted
In food processor,
blend all ingredients but coconut, until mixture is smooth.
Add more coconut
oil if mixture appears too dry to roll into balls.
Take generous
teaspoonfuls and roll into balls, then roll in coconut.
Makes about 16 (I put mine in little cupcake paper thingies for safe storage)
Store in tightly
covered container in fridge. To serve bring to room temp.
Each one 121 calories, 2 g protein, 10 g fat, 8 g carbs, 5 g sugar (naturally occurring not added) and 2 g fiber.
I hope this offers a little comfort and joy and helps get you through the season without breaking the caloric bank!
All my best,
Shan
These look and sounds really yummy Shan! I think I need to make the effort to make a few healthier treats too, so will have a go at these very soon.
