If you like chocolate, and want to stay healthy and sane at this festive end of the year, you’re going to love these stunning truffles by Donna Hay. This recipe has only four ingredients, and you probably have all of them in your pantry right now. Get ready, roll.

• 1½ cups (270g) fresh dates, pitted

• ¼ cup (40g) almonds

• ⅓ cup (95g) peanut butter

• 1 tbsp Dutch cocoa, plus extra for dusting

Place the dates, almonds, peanut butter and cocoa in a food processor and process until finely chopped and well combined. 

Using slightly damp hands, roll 2 teaspoons of the mixture into a ball and dust with the extra cocoa. Set aside on a baking tray lined with non-stick baking paper. 

Repeat with remaining mixture. Serve. Makes 22.

TIP: Store the truffles and peanut butter cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
