Chocolate Mint Truffles

1/2 cup raw almonds
1/4 cup raw walnuts
8 Medjool dates (the big soft kind—make sure to remove the pits)
3 TBSP hemp seeds
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp peppermint extract
1/4 tsp sea salt
1 TBSP water

Place all of the ingredients into a food processor or high-speed blender and process until you achieve desired texture (from smooth to slightly chunky).

If using a high-speed blender, start blending the nuts for about 20 seconds before adding the remaining ingredients. You may have to stop a few times and scrape down the sides.

Using approx 2 TBSP of the mixture at a time roll the truffle mixture between your hands until you have a nice small ball formed. Roll the truffles in the following to coat:
