Sinless snickers truffles


This is my first post in a long time! I have taken up rowing again and so have been quite busy but also more focused on nutrition. These sweet treats are the perfect solution to when you are craving something really really naughty but still want to nourish your body and eat clean. I am not easily satisfied but even just one of these really does the trick...

Ingredients (makes 10)


6 large medjool dates
Half tsp sea salt
Tsp coconut oil
Peanut butter
70% cocoa dark chocolate

Method


  1. Blend the dates (remove the stones if needed) and coconut oil with a hand blender or mixer 
  2. Stir in the salt and use a tea spoon and your fingers to shape the mixture into balls. Put them in the freezer to firm up for 20 mins
  3. Take the balls out of the freezer and spoon a blob of peanut butter on the top and put back in the freezer for another 20 mins
  4. Melt about 60g dark chocolate in a small bowl and drop the balls one by one in the chocolate, covering them with a thin later before putting them on a plate lightly greased with coconut oil and refridgerating
  5. When the chocolate has set transfer them to a container and keep them in the fridge until you want to eat them

Enjoy! x
