Hello, my name is Lisa and I am a chocoholic. I eat it everyday. Chocolate chips are my go to when I am feeling stressed ( are sad or happy). My dad tells me that I can't help it - it is in my genetic makeup. I have been trying to retrain my self into having sweets only a few times a week. Today I whipped up a few of these "truffles" from my friend Morgan's blog. They are made with dates, nuts, unsweeted coconut, and raw cocoa powder ( not the baking kind), which is really good for you. They are sweet enough with a hint of chocolate flavor, satistfiing and loaded with fiber, protien and antioxidants. Even Ryan said it taked like a brownie. That is big. I think I may have found my cure.
*I followed Morgan's recipie with a few tweaks. Cashews instead of almonds. I had to add more dates and a little agave nectar until the texture was right. I also added a little raw sugar to the mix. I can't be that healthy! I rolled it ina mixutre of raw sugar, cocoa, and cinnamon.

Save some for us! We're coming to try them whether you like it or not.
lis I love this post! We've talked about this before, you know I have inherited that gene too, so I can SO relate! I'll have to give these a try... but I have a feeling they won't come close to those double chocolate cookies that you posted the recipe to a while back. ( we make those way too often!)
Sounds yummy! Too bad I'd eat the whole batch, negating the healthy part because I ate too much!
