½ cup ground almonds (almond flour) (50g)
3 tbsp maple syrup
Pinch sea salt optional

½ cup dark chocolate (75g)
Chopped almonds to top

Instructions

Add the almond butter, ground almonds, maple syrup and salt, if using, to a bowl and mix well.
Roll into balls and freeze them whilst you melt the chocolate.
Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of hot water. Coat each truffle in chocolate and top with nuts. Refrigerate to set.

They also freeze well. You can eat from frozen or let them defrost before eating.
If you struggle to coat the balls with the chocolate, add a tsp of melted coconut oil to the chocolate to thin it slightly.
