Ingredients

Instructions

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment and set aside.
  • In a medium mixing bowl add the almond butter, maple syrup, sea salt, and almond flour and stir well. Fold in the rice cereal.
  • Form the mixture into heaping tablespoon-sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Pop the sheet into the freezer to set.
  • Meanwhile, over medium-low heat, melt the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil together until smooth.
  • Remove the balls from the freezer and one by one roll them in the melted chocolate and place them back on the baking sheet. Use 2 forks to do this and let the excess chocolate drop back into the pot.
  • After the balls have been coated dip the fork into the chocolate and drizzle each ball for a layered look. Sprinkle each truffle with a touch of sea salt if desired.
  • Place them back in the freezer for 30 minutes to set.
  • Keep these stored in an airtight container in either the fridge or freezer for up to a week.

Notes

  • 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.
