Date truffles

Ingredients:

• 1 cup dried pitted dates, 120g, finely chopped
• 1 cup of water
• 1 tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
• 2 tbsp. natural peanut butter low fat
• 2 tbsp cocoa powder
• 1 tbsp (15 g) butter
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 8 records whole grain graham crackers, chopped, about 1 and 1/4 cups.
• 0.5 cups oatmeal, not instant

Preparation:

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the dates, water, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, breaking up any large date pieces with a spoon, until the mixture forms a thick paste, 15-20 minutes. Stir in the honey, peanut butter, cocoa powder, and salt. Add the crackers and oats. Remove from the heat.
2. Lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Using a tablespoon, drop equal amounts of cookie mixture onto the baking sheet. Refrigerate until set, about 20 minutes.
3. Topping: unsweetened coconut flakes, crushed graham crackers, finely chopped peanuts, granola (0.5 cups of each).
   
   Place desired toppings in small bowls. Roll each cookie in the desired toppings and flatten lightly to form thick disks. Cover and refrigerate. Serve chilled.
