Made from a mixture of coconut oil, cocoa butter, dates, and shredded coconut, these truffles are flavored with a mixture of cocoa powder, ras el hanout for a little spicy kick, vanilla seeds and cinnamon.

I love these no bake truffles. The coconut, dates, cinnamon and chocolate all pair well together. The truffles taste sweet, but it is not overpowering. I will make these again.
