Candy Cane Truffles

Medjool dates (pitted & sliced in half (I like the ones from the produce department best, softer))

raw almonds (if you only have roasted, use those!)

dried cherries (not sweetened with sugar)

non-dairy chocolate chips (I use Enjoy Life)

crushed candy canes (plus 2 additional for final step)

vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract or scrape one vanilla bean

sea salt

cocoa powder
