- 1/4 cupalmonds
- 4 dates

Directions
- Add the almonds and sunflower seeds to the food processor and blitz for one minute.
- Next, add the remaining ingredients, and blitz thoroughly until the ingredients have combined and formed a ball.
- Using your hands, roll little truffle sized balls of the mixture. I made about 20.
- Once you have rolled them all, pop them in the fridge. If you are coating them in the spiced-cacao coating, mix together the cacao and spice, and roll each truffle in the mixture.
- If you are feeling extra fancy, drizzle them with the melted white chocolate. You could also add a few drops of peppermint extract or freeze dried raspberries to the truffle mix for extra festivity feels. They keep well in the fridge or freezer in an airtight container.
