These truffles were a spin off from a great recipe on 'Cupcakes and Kale' for raw walnut and almond cookies. Jess's version is a little prettier, I didn't have a cookie cutter available so I made truffles and also added a sweetened cocoa dusting on the outside............really hits the sweet spot!
But be sure to check out her original while looking over this one. I'm sure you could think of lots of variations too...............
Basic Recipe:
3/4 cup raw walnuts
3/4 cup raw almonds
