RICH DENSE AND CHOCOLATEY!
We all need a good treat every once in a while and dark chocolate is therapeutic for me!
I made a batch of my chocolate truffle bliss balls and these beauties always hit the spot! They freeze really well so you can always make a big batch and save them for later.
If you want to make these nut-free, simply use sunflower butter instead of a nut butter!
Top them up with anything you fancy! I like hemp hearts, cacao powder, and a mixture of a little cinnamon and coconut sugar!
If you want to go a little extra, you can put something in the center too! I love a toasted hazelnut which reminds me of a ferrero rocher or a dried cherry, the sour and dark chocolate work so well together!

- Add all ingredients to a food processor and blend. If too dry, add a tbsp at a time of your milk of choice till you get a good consistency to make the balls. It shouldn't be too soft, more on the firmer side.
- Add chocolate chips and mix them in with your hands so they’re evenly distributed.
- Roll into balls and place on a lined tray.
- Freeze for 15 minutes so that they harden, store in the fridge. Enjoy!
