Instructions

In a food processor combine peanut butter, oats, cinnamon, salt, dates and maple syrup. Process until smooth and dough like. Roll batter into bite-sized balls, about the size of a ping-pong ball, and place in the fridge to chill.
Melt chocolate by adding 2 inches water to a small saucepan and bring to simmer. Place a heatproof glass bowl on top of the pot, making sure the bottom of the bowl is not touching the simmering water. Add dark chocolate and coconut oil to the bowl and stir gently until melted and combined.
Remove truffles from fridge and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Roll truffles in melted chocolate, using a spoon to manoeuvre the balls to coat entirely in chocolate. Place onto parchment paper. Optional to top with candied sprinkles. Continue process of rolling truffles in chocolate until you have covered all the truffles with chocolate. Place truffles back in the fridge to chill, until chocolate has hardened (approx. 20 minutes).

Notes

Truffle dough can be made in advanced 1-2 days, roll in chocolate coating the day of serving to ensure freshness. Truffles will keep in fridge for up to one week.
