I think almond meal flour would work well Lisa. It is in all the grocery stores now. Usually by Bob’s Red Mill or Arrowhead Mills, others too.
Would love a suggestion for soy milk powder. I hace to order rare ingredients like this online and it wont arrive in time for xmas…
These are going to my Must-Try list. They will make a perfect edible gift option for Holidays. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

How yummy do these sound? I love me some Kahlua and it’s been awhile since I’ve made truffles – I need to fix that 🙂
Thanks so much Ashley! They taste so good.
Stumbling!! What creative truffles these are! Yum!
That is a hard one. I do’t think this recipe can have a substitution – raisins would be the closest. The dates hold the truffles together and add their sweetness.
We don’t care much for dates.., any substitution ideas?
Thanks Jen! Hope you get to try tham. Thanks for having me and I will visit again. 🙂

I have not seen another type (yet) in the stores. I did find this almond milk mix on Amazon that should work. http://www.amazon.com/Daily-Favourites-Badam-Drink-Almond/dp/B007POP1TO/ref=sr_1_1?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1382069310&sr=1-1&keywords=powdered+almond+milk&tag=cas05-20
I am not a fan of soy. Any alternative suggestions?
