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!
