I’d call this lazy candy making, for really you don’t have to do a lot, no thermometers or boiling pots of sugar are involved and you get luscious bites in the end! Who wouldn’t want a small container fo these to nibble on? And they are simply elegant.
Dark Chocolate Truffles
Ingredients:
- 8 ounces dark chocolate chips (vegan if desired)
- ¼ cup organic virgin coconut oil
- 3 Tbsp water
- Pinch fine sea salt
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Directions:
Add the chocolate chips, coconut oil, water and salt to a double boiler (or a heat-safe glass bowl over a pot), with a small amount of water in the lower pot. Heat over medium till the chocolate has melted, stirring gently.
Take off the heat and stir in the vanilla.
Scrape into an 8×8″ glass pan, set in the refrigerator for about 2 hours. (Should you say….oh forget about it and come back the next day, take out of the refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to soften a bit)
Place the cocoa powder in a bowl. Line a plate with parchment paper.
For best results wear food grade gloves. Using a 1 Tablespoon Disher
Set on the prepared plate, refrigerate to harden, store tightly covered in the refrigerator.
Makes about 12.

wonderful! I made some last year and intend to do so again this year… aren’t they just so simple?!
And so tasty!
That goes without saying 😀
Can’t wait for your recipe tomorrow you mentioned on your Facebook page!
Get excited… one of my favourite ever, I think!
I’m writing it as we type 😀
Tease!!
Not at all lazy — it’s just a simple recipe, one that’s a winner in the end 🙂
Yep, make these all the time for friends and they LOVE me for it haha!! Yummy. Easy can be so elegant!
Sarah, love these! And I have all the ingredients!! Yummy!!!
I hid them so the toddler can’t find them 😉
Laughing, I am going to hide them from my 20 year old. It never ends 🙂
Hah! No kidding!! My teen ate 3/4 of those cupcakes I made earlier this week. Sheesh!!
All right, next time you make these I expect you to use espresso instead of water…. C’mon 😉 I add powdered pero to mine. A whole new level!
Duhhhh…ummm, why did that slip my mind? Normally I have a jar of the green lidded instant espresso on hand. I could have used though my cold pressed espresso! Oh boo-hoo, I will have to make another batch. How will I ever survive?? 😉
Haha, just had to razz you because I thought it’d be right up your alley 🙂
Whats funny is it never crossed my mind to use coffee when I was making them 😀
I know! You must have had your thinking cap off. Hehe 😉
