Double Chocolate Fudge Truffles


Going on a Paleo diet (or mostly Paleo... I mean, it's the holiday season...who am I kidding?) sparks some creativity into my food choices. Mostly out of necessity, because I can't just have no desserts. 

I don't know what this is, to be honest. Cookie dough? Fudge? Some mix between the two, maybe? 

It's delicious, though, and pretty healthy, considering how good it is. My one complaint is that I always run out too fast. Because it's that good. 

So here it is. Merry Christmas, ladies and gentlemen.

Double Chocolate Fudge Truffles 
(Paleo, vegan, gluten-free, refined-sugar free)

1 1/2 cups cashew pieces
3 Tbs extra virgin coconut oil
1/2 cup cocoa powder
2 cups almond butter 
1/2 tsp vanilla extract 
1/8 tsp sea salt
1/4 cup raw honey
1/4 cup coconut sugar 
1/4 cup chocolate chips (paleo- I make my own)

Add cashews and coconut oil to your food processor and pulse until very smooth- it should almost be a liquid. Add cocoa powder and blend well. 
Add almond butter if your processor can handle it (mine can't). Otherwise, hand mix it in until completely blended. 
In a bowl, Stir in remaining ingredients in order. Adjust sweetness to taste. 
Scoop with a melon baller or ice cream scoop and store in the fridge. Eat ungodly amounts and feel no guilt.
