I LOVE this sweet snack so much because it is so similar to baked decadent carrot cake :) It's a guilt-free treat that can be eaten any time of day, just like the other 5 recipes listed in this post. Any nut can be used in place of walnuts. Toss in 1/4 cup of dried pineapple if you have any. Raisins are also a yummy addition. These truffles can stay fresh for up to 4 days in your refrigerator, so make plenty to last!
