Raw Truffles

Anyone who knows me knows I love chocolate. Being vegan and sugar-free doesn’t always leave me with a lot of options for indulging in my chocolate addiction. Making my own truffles is the best way to treat myself to something yummy while still sticking to my eating lifestyle.

These raw, vegan, nut-free and refined sugar-free truffles are absolutely worth it. They’re perfect for just about any food intolerance and can make a great after-dinner treat or food gift for someone watching their sugar intake. And what they lack in refined sugar and nuts, they make up for with intense taste.

This Valentine’s Day, treat yourself to an extra truffle or two without the sugar crash!
