DARK CHOCOLATE AVOCADO TRUFFLES

February 14, 2017 By admin

These delicious dark chocolate avocado truffles are so easy to make and easy to adapt depending on how sweet you like them. I used 60% cacao bittersweet chocolate chips but you could use unsweetened baking chocolate and a little stevia if you would like them completely sugar free. The creaminess comes from the avocado making them super healthy.  I love chocolate orange so I added a couple of drops of orange extract but you could use peppermint or just stick with vanilla and lots of options for rolling them in too!

A perfect gift!
