Rich And Creamy Chocolate Almond Butter Truffles
- 18 ounces Jar of Almond Butter (smooth)
- 16 ounces Box of Confectioners Sugar
- 1/3 cup Melted Butter Substitute ( Earth Balance)
- 24 ounces Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips (Enjoy Life)
- Handful Items for Garnishes ( Toasted Coconut, Chopped Nuts, Cocoa Powder etc.)
- In a large bowl mix together the almond butter, confectioners sugar and melted butter substitute until the mixture is crumbly. This is best done with your hands in order to create a smooth filling.
- Roll the almond butter filling into 1 inch balls, once again using your hands. Arrange on a baking sheet and put in the freezer for 7-10 minutes to chill, which will make for easier dipping into the chocolate.
- While the almond balls are chilling melt the chocolate in either a microwave safe bowl in the microwave, or in a small saucepan on the stove top. Stir until smooth.
- Remove the baking sheet from the freezer and with a wooden skewer inserted into the almond balls dip them one at a time into the chocolate, turning quickly to cover the entire ball. Immediately roll in the desired garnish. (At this point it is good to have a friend or family member help because it is hard to dip and roll at the same time.) Place the truffles on a clean parchment paper-covered baking sheet and allow them to set, about 5 minutes or put them in the refrigerator.
- The truffles will keep for up to 2 weeks at room temperature, when stored in an airtight container.
- Note: When rolling the truffles by hand it is important to be make sure your hands are cold. A good trick is to dip your hands in ice water for a few seconds and then dry them. Do this immediately before rolling the truffles. If your hands are too warm the truffles will begin to melt while you are rolling them.
