I have a sweet tooth. It can be the bane of my existence! When my daughters were younger, I used to bake sheets and sheets of cookies and bars. Great for the taste buds, horrible for the waistline and diet. I love to experiment with recipes and made at least 20 different chocolate chip cookie recipes, constantly refining them until I came up with what I thought was the best.
Now, my body gets very crabby when I eat those same chocolate chip cookies. I actually feel horrible.

1/2 C Cacao Powder
1/4 C Raw Organic Agave
30 Dried Cherries
Mix all ingredients except cherries in food processor. Form a disk, place dried cherry in the middle and wrap disk around the cherry. Roll into ball. Refrigerate.

When can I order some????
These sound and look Lush!!
This sounds great! I’ll have to make them sometime soon! Love your blog, it’s beautiful!
Hey! Great blog! I am so glad I found it. Everything you post looks so amazing!
These look amazing! When you say mix all ingredients in the blender and then go on to say wrap disk around the dried cherry do you mean these to be extra cherries or do we not mix the cherries into the other 3 ingredients?
Ah! I should rewrite that! All ingredients except the dried cherries…you use those as the filling. Thanks!
These are really tasty, and knowing that they are raw just makes them so much better!
Thank you for the wonderful recipes!
WOW! What a fabulous idea! Any clue how long they would be good for? I’m totally going to make a huge batch to give with christmas gifts
They do last quite a while in the fridge. I have not tried freezing them. I am not sure they would last until Christmas…

LOL I didn’t mean I’d make them now for christmas
hehe I was just wondering if I made them and put them in little packages if they would last a few days packaged up 
Oh me oh my. These were divine. My sister freaked out when she tried them. They made her do the yummy dance. So good.
I’m so glad I found your site. Thanks for the posts!
These recipes are awesome. I’m transitioning from being a vegetarian to a vegan, and, to put it mildly, it’s been rough. I miss dairy…a lot.
But I’m hanging in there. Hopefully some new dishes will inspire me.
1/2 C Cacao Powder
I have read a lot of differing opinion on what this is….is the hersey’s cocoa powder ok…how militant(strict) does it have to be with the cacao powder because in the drying of the bean temps often reach over 110 degrees because its dried on black material
The Cacao powder I use is http://www.navitasnaturals.com/products/cacao/cacao-powder.html It is dried at low temperatures to maintain the maximum nutrient values. Cacao is different than Hershey’s Coco. Very different.
About how many truffles do these make? They look good!
