The filling is made of all-natural almond butter (you could even grind it yourself), coconut flour, and coconut sugar, for the perfect textured center. The almond butter is the perfect substitute to achieve that "nutty" flavor.

The outside coating is made of only dark chocolate and coconut oil. Make sure to choose a good quality dark chocolate for this little project — no high-fructose corn syrup, please!

Paleo "Peanut" Butter Truffles

Cook Time20 minutes

From PaleoHacks

INGREDIENTS

    • 3/4 cup all-natural almond butter
    • 1/2 cup coconut flour
    • 1/4 cup coconut palm sugar
    • 1/2 cup good quality dark chocolate
    • 1 teaspoon coconut oil

    INSTRUCTIONS

    1. Mix together the almond butter, coconut flour, and coconut palm sugar until smooth.

    2. Roll into 3/4 to 1 inch balls and place on parchment paper-lined cookie sheet.

    3. Place the cookie sheet in the freezer to harden for 15-20 minutes.

    4. Before taking out your truffles, prepare your coating by melting your chocolate and coconut oil in the microwave for 20 second intervals on 50% power until almost completely melted. Mix to let the last of the chocolate melt.

    5. Using a toothpick, dip one truffle at a time in the chocolate to completely cover the truffle and place on baking sheet. (If you want you can spoon a tiny bit of chocolate on top to cover the hole on top.)

    6. Once all the truffles are covered, place the cookie sheet in the freezer and allow to harden at least 30 minutes. Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator.
