Easy Almond Truffles
With only 5 simple ingredients, these easy almond truffles are a fun sweet treat that only takes minutes to make. Surrounded by a layer of dark chocolate and topped with some chopped almonds, they are a great alternative to shop bought, high sugar treats.
Ingredients
Base ingredients
- ½ cup almond butter (120g)
- ½ cup ground almonds (almond flour) (50g)
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- Pinch sea salt optional
Topping ingredients
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips (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.
Notes

- 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.
