¾ cup (30 – 40 grams) popped amaranth for coating

Step by step:

1. In a sauce pan, soak dates and plums with one cup of warm water for an hour. When time is up, put the sauce pan on the stove and bring the fruits with water to simmer over medium heat and let it cook for approx. 10-15 minutes until fruits are puree and water evaporated. When ready put it aside and add pieces of chocolate, mix it with a spoon until the chocolate is melted and evenly incorporated. Add almond flour and mix it well. There should not be any white spots of almond flour visible. Cool it down completely.
2. Assembling Amaranth-Marzipan truffles:
   From cold marzipan mass form small balls and coat each one of them in popped amaranth. 1 tsp. forms one ball. Serve immediately or store it in fridge.
