Ooey gooey peppermint chocolate brownie truffles. Made with nuts, dates, cocoa, and peppermint covered in a rich dark chocolate and topped with candy cane dustings.
Equipment
- Food Processor
Ingredients
- 132 g Medjewl Dates
- 32 g raw Pecans
- 25 g raw cashews
- 1 TBS Hot Cocoa Mix I use Starbucks Hot Cocoa mix. Can use cocoa or protein powder
- 2 TBS Almond Butter can use almond butter
- ½ tsp vanilla
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 Candy Cane
- ¼ tsp Peppermint Extract This amount is the perfect amount! You can add more if you want.
Instructions
- Measure your cashews, pecans, and dates on a food scale. Add to the Food processor. Blend until crumbly or well mixed together. its okay if there are a few nut chunks.
- After, Add in nut butter, peppermint extract, vanilla, and salt. If the mix is really dry (it shouldnt be because of the dates) you can add .5 to 1 tbs of milk. If you add to much it will be to sticky.
- After it comes together, you can put in a small mixing bowl, add in some crushed candy cane (I only put about 1 tsp of candy cane crunch). Set in fridge or freezer for about 10-20 minutes to firm it up and make balls.
- After it is cold enough to work with, Roll into balls. I used a scale to make each ball the right size but you should end up with 9-10 balls. Drizzle some melted dark chocolate or crushed candy cane. Set in fridge or freezer. Keep in fridge or freezer and enjoy!
