This deliciously rich and healthier version of traditional chocolate truffles is the perfect guilt free Christmas treat, so you don’t need to feel bad about eating one or two…or maybe even three.

Preparation
1. Remove pips from dates and soak in boiling water for 10 minutes until softened, drain and blend into a smooth paste.
