Raw chocolate covered truffles – walnut and date version

When I first made these truffles I thought I was going to melt with delight. Perhaps it was a reflection of the multi sensory experience when I took my first bite; soft, sweet, rich, melt in the mouth chocolate covered sensual deliciousness. Difficult to imagine so much from such an easy recipe with only 5 ingredients. Yet, using good quality organic ingredients (including raw homemade chocolate), makes the essence of these truffles quite divine.

It's a bit of a take on the traditional chinese stir-fry, except the only thing that is fried is one quick minute of garlic.
