Here is a recipe for Raw Date Truffles. This is from Amy Green's Simply Sugar and Gluten Free cookbook. (SimplySugarandGlutenFree.com) Seriously, these are so helping with my sugar cravings!!

1 cup raw almonds
2 cup Medjool dates (pitted & coarsely chopped)
1 cup golden raisins (I used regular as that is all I had and they were just fine)
1/2 cup dried black Mission Figs (stemmed and coarsely chopped)
1/4 cup unsweetened finely shredded coconut
1/4 cup cocoa powder (not Dutch-processed)

in bowl of food processor fitted with the steel blade, process eeh almonds for 2-3 mins until finely chopped, but not mealy. Add the dates, raisins and figs. Process again for 3-5 mins until the mixture sticks together and forms a coarse dough.
Roll into balls and then roll half in coconut and half in cocoa.
Store in air tight container in the refrigerator.
