Healthy Chocolate Mint Truffles

So for the past two weeks I have been doing an intense diet and workout plan called P90X. I hope to continue it for 90 full days! Valentines Day is tomorrow and to avoid all the candy and processed sugars, here is a recipe for mint truffles that are not only good, but good for you. Here it is! 

1 Cup Dates
1 Cup Slivered Almonds
1 Tbsp Coco Nibs 
1Tbsp Cocoa Powder
1/2 tsp Mint Extract
1/3 Cup Dark Chocolate Chips/Chunks

In food processor, mix all ingredients except chocolate chips until it looks like cookie dough. Manually fold chocolate chips. With your hands (if you wet your hands, the dough won't stick) roll into cookie dough balls. Roll balls into cocoa powder and enjoy!

Makes approx 16. Store in the refrigerator or freezer.
