For nut-allergies, you can replace the pecans with pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, or coconut shreds.

Ingredients
¾cupraw or toasted pecans
½cupdatesMedjool dates work best, but any will work as long as they’re sticky
1teaspoonMegafood Daily C Protect powderhttps://megafood.com/store/en/booster-powders/daily-c-protect-nutrient-booster-powder/
½cupvegan dark chocolate chips or baking chocolate
1fresh orange for zesting
Instructions
Place the pecans and dates into a food processor, and blend until the ingredients have become a medium-coarse meal. It should hold together tightly when formed.
Scoop a heaping tablespoon of the mixture into the palm of your hand and form small tight balls.
Place the formed balls onto a parchment paper-lined plate. This recipe makes about 10 balls.
Melt the chocolate in a glass or metal bowl over boiling water, or in a glass bowl in the microwave.
Drop each truffle into the chocolate and coat well. Remove the coated truffle, and place it gently onto the parchment paper. A toothpick will help in the process. Continue with the remaining balls.
Zest the orange over the truffles.
Place in the refrigerator to firm for at least 2 hours before enjoying.
