Chocolate Truffles with Nuts and Fruits

For parties they are perfect, small, to eat "at once" portions, healthy snacks or sweet desserts. In fact, they may be formulated according to one's taste, just keep in mind that one of the ingredients must be "sticky" to unite the remaining. There is no sugar added, not counting the small amount that is in a jam. Truffles are very tasty and your hand will reach to them over and over.

Ingredients for about 60 truffles:

 
400 g cashew nut butter

 300 g of jam*, preferably w/o sugar added

120 g spelt bran, grained

100 ml rum, I used gold

20 pieces of dried in the sun dates

 4 - 5 tbsp dark raisins

4 tbsp cocoa, organic 

Pinch of sea salt

Additionally:

The shredded coconut

 Directions:

Chop dates and along with raisins put into a small dish, pour with rum. Let it stand for at least 30 minutes, or until the whole alcohol is absorbed. Place cashew nuts in the food processor with letter "S" blade and mix until nuts will form a sticky, dense consistency (~5 min). Then, add all the remaining ingredients and mix until they are well combined. Transferred the dough to a bowl and refrigerate for an hour or two. After this time, form walnut size balls in your hands and roll the balls over the shredded coconut. Done. Store in a refrigerator for up to a week.

* I used plum jam, just because I had it on hand

Anzac Biscuits

Anzac Biscuits owes its name to two armies: the New Zealand and Australian. Legend says that when the soldiers of these countries were leaving for the front during the First World War, their mothers, wives, sisters baked them biscuits. Biscuits played a dual role, had to be nutritious and survive for a long time, and they were.
In every legend is a bit of truth, which is why in 1916, the name ANZAC came to be officially protected by law and reserved only for those biscuits. In 1921, the Anzac biscuit recipe appeared in the cookbook for the first time.My version is only slightly changed, descended golden syrup with honey, wheat flour - with spelt flour, wheat bran with spelt bran. Additionally, I added coconut and almonds.
The biscuits are very tasty, is good to have them always at home for unexpected guests.

Ingredients for approx. 30 biscuits:

250 g spelt flour 
200 g spelt bran 
70 g shredded coconut, organic 
70 g almonds with skin, crushed 
5 tablespoons butter of your choice (e.g. regular, cashew nuts, almond) 
4 tbsp of honey, heaped, organic 
2 tsp vanilla paste, organic 
2 tbsp hot water
Pinch of baking soda

Additionally

Wafers (optional)

Direction: 

Melt the butter, honey, and vanilla in a pot on low heat. Take it form heat and add bran, flour, coconut and almonds. Dissolve soda in water and add to the rest. Mix well. Cover and leave for 30 minutes to allow the dough "rest". Then, take the dough with a spoon and form rings placing on a baking sheet. If you are using wafers, place the dough on them.Put into preheated to 150°C/300°F oven and bake for 35 minutes. Ready.
