When my mom & step dad visited this past weekend for Hannah’s birthday, they brought along some amazing little balls of heaven – dark chocolate truffles. They had me at dark chocolate – there was no need to further explain ingredients, etc, just hand over the goods.
The truffles were about the size of a cookie that you would form & roll into a ball before baking. They had been rolled in walnuts for a decorative coating. I bit into my treat & began my trip to heaven. The dark chocolate flavor resonated throughout the truffle and lingered in my mouth. I only have one negative thing to say – they need to be bigger so they last longer than 2 bites.
My step dad, Joe, was nice enough to share the recipe with me so that I could share it with you all.
Anna’s Dark Chocolate Truffles
1 cup of date paste or 1 cup of pitted dates + 2 TBSP water
1 1/4 cup almond butter
1 1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/3 cup honey
Directions
Mix all above ingredients in a food processor and form into walnut size balls. Roll in crushed walnuts, coconut or cocoa powder. Chill. Makes between 38-44 balls ranging from 80 – 95 calories/piece (more truffles = less calories per piece). Each truffle has between 8-10 grams of protein.
Pair these truffles with a glass of red wine for dessert or they would be great as a pre-workout or post-workout snack. Nothing like a ‘healthy’ dessert treat that is naturally gluten-free!
