Date Night Chocolate Truffles

Ingredients

N

The Truffles:

  • 1 cup Brazil nuts, (toasted @300 for ~30 min – let them get deeply toasted)
  • 2 Tbsp almond butter (or peanut butter or sunflower butter – we used the latter on retreat)
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 3 tsp raw cacao powder (or cocoa powder but the flavor is much better with raw cacao)
  • 9 dates
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • Extra cacao or cocoa powder on a plate or wide-mouthed bowl (for rolling)
  • Optional: 8 drops liquid stevia extract (likely a good choice for those with a sweet-loving palate)
Homemade chocolate truffles rolled in cacao powder on a ceramic plate, made with Brazil nuts, dates, nut butter, and raw cacao for a rich and healthy treat.
