- Powdered soy milk they now have powdered coconut milk. There may be others too.

- Kahlua pretty much goes without saying but the flavor addition is delicious.
- Dates are a wonderful sweetener and they add a nice texture too.
- Pecans are used as the covering for the chocolate truffles.
Instructions
- Process the pecans fine as these are what the finished balls will be rolled in, You may use any ground nut or seed that you like.
- Crush the chocolate graham crackers into a fine grain or, more easily, put in a food processor and grind.
- Put the crushed graham crackers in a large bowl and add the dry soy milk. There are other varieties since I made this recipe.
- Stir in dairy-free milk and Kahlua. Any of your favorites will do just make sure it isn't a sweetened or vanilla variety.
- Mix until all is moistened. It will take less than a minute.
- Stir in the finely chopped dates.
- Divide the dough in half and then each half again and continue until you have 48 balls.
- They are sticky as you divide but when you roll them in the palms of your hands they do not stick at all.
- Roll each ball into the finely ground pecans.
- All done. Keep them in the refrigerator.

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.

This recipe sounds delish! But do you know a way to make them gluten-free?
I have an allergic reaction when I eat certain things with wheat in them. Graham crackers is one of those. I love them but they don’t love me.

I haven't found chocolate gluten free graham crackers yet. They have oat ones on amazon but not chocolate. You could buy any chocolate gluten free cookie that you like and crush them. Not ones with fillings though.
