The photo alone on this post is gorgeous! And love the ingredients list: simple and healthy. And now have to be possibly less healthy and ask ;), is there anything else one could use in place of dates? Curious about alternatives, but assume would simply be more chocolate? Would love to make these as gifts!

Thank you so much, darling Lara! Dates are what make these ‘faux truffles’ bind together. However, I’ve made another version with good quality 70% dark chocolate bars, coconut milk, rose water, and sometimes honey or maple syrup for sweetness. I’ll record the recipe for an upcoming post! Xx
