Avocado Chocolate Truffles

The most delicious snack!

I highly recommend making these Avocado and dark chocolate truffles. Calling for just a handful of ingredients, they are quick and easy to prepare, and will impress the socks off your guests this holiday!

While most recipes rely on heavy cream or butter, these truffles get their creaminess from a ripe avocado. If you don’t care for the flavor of avocado, don’t worry– all you’ll taste is the chocolate!

These truffles are rich and decadent truffles are the perfect solution when you have a chocolate craving but you don’t want all the sugar! These are satisfying without any guilt.
