Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Medjool dates, pitted
- 1 cup almond flour (or oat flour for nut-free)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

- 1 tsp vanilla extract (or alcohol-free vanilla extract)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (or coconut sugar)
- 1/4 cup mini vegan chocolate chips

Instructions
- Prepare the Date Mixture: Place the pitted dates in a food processor and pulse until they form a paste.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix almond flour and cocoa powder until well combined.

- Decorate: Roll chilled truffles in powdered sugar, add mini chocolate chips for eyes, and stick carrot pieces for noses.
