Meanwhile, melt together the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil

Once the chocolate mixture is all silky and smooth, take out the balls from the freezer and one by one, roll them into the melted chocolate to coat. Using 2 forks is a great way to do this evenly.

Place them back onto the same baking sheet. Dip the fork back into the melted chocolate and drizzle each one to get the layered effect. Add a few sprinkles of sea salt on top.

FAQs, Tips, and Substitutions

  • Are these truffles dairy-free? Yes, they are. Be sure to check the label of the chocolate chips to make sure they don’t contain any milk products.
  • Use two forks to roll the chilled almond butter balls in the melted chocolate as the excess will drip back into the pan.
  • Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in the microwave if you use one. Place in a microwave-safe bowl and heat at 1-minute intervals until melted, stirring each time. 
  • Substitute peanut butter instead of almond butter if you prefer.

  1. Several years later…has anyone made these? Looking to try them but like to read comments before trying a recipe.

  2. Yes, yes and yes – I am 100% ready for some dark chocolate and almond butter heaven! Like, right this very minute!!! These look INSANE! I absolutely can’t wait to make them … pinning double-fast! 😀 Oh – and I loved the sneaky fingers pic and the shot of darling Louis – clearly these truffles draw a crowd!

    1. I’m debating making a batch of these right now because, you’re right, these truffles bring all my boys to the yard! 😉

  3. Yum! I’ve never had a truffle with almond butter. I have to give these a try! I love the pic w/your cat. So cute. 🙂

    1. Hey thanks Tiffany! That spot has become a favourite of Louis the cat. He doesn’t like being left out and if we’re in the kitchen this is where he goes to stay in the loop. He is pretty cute. 😉

  4. Ooh, nut butter and chocolate is a definite weakness of mine! These look so good – and so easy too (which is always a good thing 😉 Love the sneaky pic of your cat too – so cute!
