Anna Duke These chocolate truffles are the perfect on-the-go snack, pre-workout fuel, or nightly sweet tooth satisfier. The rich intensity of the dark chocolate alongside the nuttiness of the almond butter and the slight sweetness of the honey makes it the perfect combination.
I made them with almond butter, but they can also be made with any other nut butter. Using peanut butter will give it more of a peanut butter cup taste which is always a good thing in my opinion!
Note: if you don’t have dark chocolate chips, you can always break up a dark chocolate bar and microwave that- or you can do a mix of a dark chocolate bar and chocolate chips.

Ingredients
Truffle
- 1/3 cup Almond butter
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp Coconut flour
- 2 tbsp Cocoa powder
Chocolate Shell
- 1/3 cup Dark chocolate
- 1/2 tsp coconut oil
- Kosher salt
Instructions
Truffles
- Add the almond butter, honey, and vanilla extract into a bowl and mix together.
- Add in the coconut flour and cocoa powder and mix until thoroughly combined.
- Once the mixture is combined, use your palms to roll into balls.
- This mixture will form between 6 and 10, depending on how big you want to make them!
- Put the truffles on a plate and place them in the freezer for about 10 minutes.
Chocolate Shell
- While the truffles are hardening, melt the chocolate and coconut oil together in the microwave. I do 20 second increments, stirring in between.
- Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate mix until covered completely, and then set it on a piece of parchment paper. Immediately sprinkle a few flakes of sea salt on top of each truffle before the chocolate has a chance to harden.
- Once the truffles are all covered in chocolate and sprinkled with salt, let them sit in the refrigerator for another 5-10 minutes before digging in!
