Tropical Truffles
Let’s face it, baking cookies or making candy can take a lot of time—time we sometimes just don’t have. But we do still want to offer treats that are made with love. These truffles are a simple, fast, and fun answer that will keep you from slaving over a stove and will keep your family fit and happy. In fact, they’re the perfect homemade sweet treat to impress everyone whether they’re interested in eating healthfully or not. And, they’re even perfect for getting the kids in the kitchen with you.

Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Put the mangoes in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a chopping blade and process until the pieces are extremely fine and very sticky. Add the marshmallow creme and coconut and continue processing until well combined. Add the oats and process until they are just incorporated (the finished mixture will be sticky to the touch and the “dough” should hold together easily). Remove the blade from the bowl of the food processor and, using your fingers, divide the mixture into 8 equal amounts. Carefully form each into a ball. Serve immediately, or store in an airtight plastic container for up to 2 days.
