Healthy Chocolate Truffles
Chocolate is one of life's greatest and simplest little pleasures. Personally, I am a dark chocolate fan. I love the bitter taste and how it just melts in your mouth. Divine.
When I saw this recipe on Pinterest I was more than a little intrigued. I've always fancied making my own truffles, and these are the easiest to make ever. As an added bonus, they are made with minimal ingredients, and by using fat-free greek yoghurt they are a great healthier alternative to a traditional box of chocolates!
Ingredients for 20 truffles:
100g dark chocolate
1 tbsp smooth peanut butter
1/4 cup fat free greek yoghurt
1/3 cup cocoa powder
To begin, break up your chocolate and melt, either in the microwave, or in a heat proof bowl over a simmering pan of water.
While the chocolate is melting, measure out the yoghurt and peanut butter (alternatively, use almond butter).
Once the chocolate has melted, remove from heat and add the peanut butter whilst the mixture is still warm. Mix until the two are well combined.
Next, carefully fold in the greek yoghurt. Refrigerate the mixture until it begins to harden, this should take around 30 minutes.
Measure out the cocoa powder and pour onto a plate to allow for ease when rolling the mixture. Once the mixture has hardened, remove from fridge and use a tea spoon to make small balls, roll in the cocoa powder and place in a container. Repeat until all the mixture has gone.
Place the truffles back into the fridge until it is time to serve them up!

They are great to fix a chocolate craving. I personally love dark chocolate, so these hit the spot.

These look so yummy!! I've made truffles before but they certainly weren't healthy, so these look like a much better alternative!
