Raw Chocolate Truffles

These truffles are always a hit at parties!! Sometimes I'll have one in the middle of the day and call it an "energy snack"... yum!

½ cup cocoa powder (preferably raw)
1 cup cashews
1 tsp vanilla essence
3 Tbs agave
2 Tbs maple syrup
1/3 cup cocoa nibs

Grind the cashews as fine as possible in a food processor. Add all other ingredients except the cocoa nibs and blend together.

Roll the mixture into balls. Spread the cocoa nibs on a plate and roll each ball in the nibs, making sure to coat it well.

Tips: The smaller the cocoa nibs are, the better. If you have a coffee grinder, grind your nibs down before rolling the balls in them.


Variations: You can substitute the nibs for ground cocoa, ground nuts such as walnuts or cashews, or coconut flakes.
