1/2 cup almond flour or ground almonds
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup dark chocolate chips or dairy-free chocolate
Optional toppings: crushed nuts, coconut flakes, or cacao nibs

Instructions

Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine almond butter, cocoa powder, natural sweeteners, almond flour, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Form Truffles: Use your hands to shape the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a parchment-lined tray.
Chill: Refrigerate the truffles for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Melt Chocolate: Melt dark chocolate chips in a microwave or double boiler until smooth.
Coat Truffles: Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are well-coated. Use a fork to lift them out and let excess chocolate drip off.
Add Toppings: If desired, sprinkle crushed nuts or coconut flakes on top before the chocolate hardens.
Chill Again: Place the coated truffles back on the tray and refrigerate until the chocolate is set.
