Date Truffles Recipe – DIY Edible Gift – Pai’s Kitchen!

There are no better gifts than ones that are handmade with love and care, and this recipe is just the perfect thing to make for friends and family! I made these date truffles (some people call them bliss balls) a couple of years ago and gave them to all my friends for Christmas, and everyone loved them!

These date balls are made with only dried fruits and nuts, with no added sugar, fat or flour, so if you don’t want to indulge in too many Christmas cookies, tame your sweet tooth with these instead!

Customize these with your choice of nuts, fruits, spices, flavourings, etc. You can make them more chocolatey by adding more cocoa powder along with a bit of extra hot water (cocoa powder dries up the balls). Enjoy!
