Recipe from Food52 Vegan: These truffles are rich and very chocolaty, they taste almost like a dessert. They can be eaten for a snack or as a finishing touch to any meal and they are perfect as edible gifts. They are vegan with just a tiny little bit of coconut oil to hold things together. This version has some chili powder and a tiny bit of cayenne add a nice spicy kick and enhance the flavor of cocoa. But you can have fun experimenting with the flavors, spices and the dried fruits that appeal to you – make sure to keep the simple ratio of about one part nuts to one part dates.
