Dark Chocolate Truffles

Looking for a yummy Valentine’s Day treat? I have you covered with these dark chocolate truffles!

They are made with just a few ingredients – dark chocolate, canned coconut milk, vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. They come together in just a few minutes, then need a few hours of refrigeration time before you can roll them into truffles. Then, dust or roll them in crushed walnuts for the ultimate chocolatey treat.

Here are a few ideas for what to roll the truffles in:

• Crushed walnuts, pecans, almonds or any nut
• Cocoa powder
• Unsweetened shredded coconut
• Crushed freeze dried fruit (like strawberries)
• Drizzled melted dark chocolate
• A pinch of coarse salt (omit from the truffle recipe if you do this)

You could also whip up a few other chocolatey treats from the blog!
