Chocolate orange truffles

Sure, we love buying up bags of pumpkin-shaped, individually wrapped candies to gear up for Halloween. But this recipe from Elana’s Pantry takes the sweetest day of the year to the next level. Fancify your next party (or impress your friends and fam) with these decadent chocolate truffles. Bonus? These organic beauties are easy to make and are actually pretty darn good for you…as far as dessert goes, anyway!

 

Ingredients:

 

1/2 cup raw cashews

1/4 cup creamy roasted almond butter

1/4 cup agave nectar

2 tablespoons cacao powder

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon orange zest

1/4 cup cacao powder

 

Directions:

 

1. Place cashews in a food processor and pulse until the texture is like coarse sand.

2. Add the almond butter, agave nectar, 2 tablespoons of cacao powder, vanilla and orange zest and pulse until smooth.

3. Refrigerate for two to three hours or until firm.

4. Remove from the fridge and roll into ½-inch balls

5. Roll in cacao powder to coat and serve. Yum!
