1. Coarsely chop the chocolate. Puree the prunes in a blender.

3. Using a teaspoon scoop out small pieces of the cold mix, form balls with your hands, dip in the cocoa powder or the shredded walnuts to coat. Place in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours to chill again. Store in the refrigerator.

Afterthoughts

These truffles are very soft, partially thanks to the prunes. The prunes also add a light sourish flavor. I love these.
