RECIPE
Makes 8-10 truffles

Ingredients
.
1/2 cup almonds
1/2 cup cashews
2 tbsp water
1 tsp maple syrup
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/3 cup shredded coconut
.
Combine all ingredients (except the coconut) in a blender. Blend. You'll probably have to keep stopping and scraping ingredients down to the blade level as the ingredients combine since it will be mucho sticky and will build up along the blender walls.
.
Once the ingredients are well blended and become slightly pasty, (add a splash or 2 more of water to help this along) remove the delicious stickiness and place in a bowl. Roll 1 inch bites in your hand and roll them around in shredded coconut to coat. Store in fridge for up to 3-4 days.
