I've gushed about it before, but chocolate and mint is really my all-time favorite combination of flavors!
With favorites on the blog like Raw Andes' Mint Pie and Raw Peppermint Bark Brownies, this probably comes as no surprise to most of you.
In honor of this month's Detox-mas, these delicious fudgy, date-sweetened truffles are my perfect for an afternoon slump or sweet tooth craving (and they give you a great boost for the gym!).

I am so excited to try your recipe! Thank you for including a nut free option. I am allergic to all nuts and peanuts. These will be perfect for my bike rides and a yummy snack.

I noticed these the other day on FG and I was like "Those look insane". Then I took a closer look and discovered you made them. I wasn't surprised, you always make amazing things!
