WHO DOESN’T LOVE CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES!
WE hear it over and over again…chocolate is good for you! YES…DARK chocolate is good for you..but after buying many varieties of “good for you dark chocolate bars” I need variety! A truffle perhaps?
Let me open your eyes to heaven in a chocolate ball! I make these by the dozens and keep them in a tin the freezer. They are so delightful, filling and satisfying that you won’t believe they are very good for you. They are loaded with chia seed protein, good fat coconut oil, and wonderful nut butters of your choice.
RAW SEED CHOCOLATE BALLS Recipe (Recipe from Anna Gates)
- 1 cup sunflower seed butter (or almond, or nut butter of your choice)
- 3 cups unsweetened organic coconut flakes
- 2/3 cup good cocoa
- 1/2 cup agave (you can play with this amount or use 1/4 cup honey instead)
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 cup chia seeds
- 1/2 cup hemp seeds
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1 pkg lilly’s chocolate chips (these have no added sugar and are a good dark chocolate but totally optional)
Combine all in a food processor or Kitchen aid until blended. Form into balls and roll in a little of the shredded coconut or the chocolate chips. Keep in a tin in the freezer. Use parchment between the layers.
