I created these truffles with my husband, a chocolate lover and connoisseur if there ever was one! I created the mix, he tasted it, and helped me roll the truffles into their familiar round shape. He recommends using a melon baller, and scraping the batter along the edges of the bowl so it’s easier to work with. This is one of the many delicious chocolate recipes from my Amazon best-seller eBook, BE Decadent – Delicious Gluten Free, Raw, & Paleo Recipes for the chocolate lover.
