Cooking with Rae and Helen: Dark Chocolate Truffles

Dark Chocolate Truffles

Today my whole entire family was bitten by the sleepy bug. The only cure was caffeine..or chocolate. That being said, my day has consisted of a warm bath, a sit by the fire, and some time in the kitchen..making truffles.

This recipe is the simplest, most original dark chocolate truffle recipe. It is adapted from Whole Living Magazine.

Ingredients

8 oz dark chocolate

1/4 cup coconut oil

3 Tbs water

1 tsp vanilla extract

pinch of salt

cocoa powder (for outside covering)

Preparation

Melt chocolate, coconut oil, and water together in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Once mixture is melted, transfer to an 8-inch baking pan and place in the refrigerator for about 2 hours (or until the mixture has hardened to a malleable consistency). Take out of fridge and roll spoonfuls of mixture into balls and cover with cocoa powder.

Easy-peasy!
