Dried fruit candy

After a busy morning I was ready for some lunch and decided to incorporate some leftovers from the past two days in my meal.

I used up the rest of my raw taco filling by putting it in some endive with 1/2 of a small avocado.  Yum! 🙂

I topped some arugula with pesto veggie “pasta”.  I topped it with some alfalfa sprouts.

After lunch, I got crackin’ on the chocolate coconut date truffles I owe to the buyer of my contribution to Katie’s bake sale.  I also threw in some tropical date truffles.  They turned out a little softer than my last batch because I used “just” dried banana from TJ’s instead of the freeze dried version I used last time that also had some added sweetner.

I think I overdosed on dried fruit during this process.  Dried banana and mango is sweetly dangerous. 😉  Better than candy!

All packaged up and ready to be taken to the post office.  Lunch box courtesy of Chobani.

I have a running date with Jenn this afternoon!  And a little running announcement later.  It’s a little anti-climatic…

What’s your favorite sweet that’s better than candy?
