Delicious Healthy Truffles

Description: These make a great snack or dessert. I keep them in a bowl in the fridge, covered, for about three days, and my family munches one or two when they want a bit of something instead of having a piece of chocolate or a cookie. I adapted the recipe from George Mateljan's World's Healthiest Foods website.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup pitted prunes
• 1/4 cup pitted dates
• 2 tablespoons peanut butter
• 1 1/2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
• 1/2 cup unsweetened flaked coconut

Steps:

1. Chop dates and prunes into small pieces, then squish together with a fork (use a sturdy, large bowl).
2. Add peanut butter and maple syrup and mix together.
3. Add cocoa and mix thoroughly.
4. Roll mixture into bite-size pieces and roll in coconut to cover.
5. Refrigerate and eat!
