• 100g dark chocolate, melted
• 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
• 3/4 cup (packed) soft Medjool dates (about 7 or 8), pits removed

• 2 tablespoons cacao nibs For the melted chocolate:
• 100 grams dark chocolate, gently melted (see note) Instructions:
Melted Chocolate:
Place dark chocolate in a non-metal bowl over a pan of barely simmering water, ensuring the bowl doesn't touch the water. Gently melt the chocolate.
Stir the chocolate occasionally with a rubber spatula until fully melted. Remove from heat. Your chocolate is ready.
Truffles:
In a food processor, blend all ingredients except for the cacao nibs until a dense dough forms.
Add the cacao nibs and pulse briefly to incorporate, maintaining some textural crunch.
Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls using a heaping teaspoon at a time.
Arrange the formed truffles on a plate and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
