Truffle Ingredients
- 1 cup hazelnut butter
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, plus extra for sprinkling
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the hazelnut butter, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and 1/4 teaspoon sea salt until the mixture is smooth and evenly incorporated.
- Form Truffles: Using your hands or a small scoop, roll the mixture into small, bite-sized balls about 1 inch in diameter.
- Finish and Chill: Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of each truffle for an added salty contrast. Place the truffles on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.

- For a nuttier texture, toast the hazelnuts and blend into a butter before using.
- Adjust the maple syrup quantity to taste depending on your preferred sweetness.
- These truffles can also be rolled in crushed nuts or shredded coconut for variety.
