No Bake Choco-Oaties & Savoy Truffles

I created a delicious treat that reminds me of the no-bake cookies that you make with oatmeal, peanut butter & chocolate.  My healthy version is YUMMY and uses almond butter instead of peanut butter!  I store them in the freezer so they stay firm. (recipe below)  Also, I made Savoy Truffles from Rawvolution by Matt Amsden.  These are delicious carob/coconut balls that are rolled in coconut.  They also stay in the freezer.  If you don't have this book, it is a great one to have in your library. Below is my Raw Choco-Oaties creation and the Savoy Truffles.
