Gone in a flash! Sooooo yuuuuuuum.

I found this Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles recipe while I was searching through paleo websites to see what everyone is up. Taylor Made it Paleo was the website I found it on and couldn't believe my eyes when I did. Go Taylor!

These truffles are wheat free, gluten free, dairy free and sugar free. The only thing that has dairy in it is the chocolate chips and coating.  If you can find dairy free chocolate then you are laughing!

Looking through Taylor's recipe I disagreed on the ingredients and wanted to simplify it so changed around a few items and quantities.

I always halve the recipe because I always end up making more and then regret it as I have gobbled it all up myself.

I much prefer my version of Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles. There is a small amount of ingredients and so quick and easy to make.

WARNING! These are out of this world ridiculously good. I gave my sister six of them to share with her husband. He came home to one! You have been warned.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles

Makes 20 bite size truffles


For the truffles:
1/2 cup almond meal
1/2 cup peanut butter (or any nut butter)
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
1/2 cup Chocolate Chips

For the chocolate coating:
3/4 cup Chocolate Chips


Method

1. Combine ingredients for truffles in a bowl until well combined.

2. Roll into bite sized balls then place on a baking tray lined with baking paper.

3. Allow to harden in freezer for about 10-15 minutes.

4. Melt the chocolate for the coating in a bowl in the microwave. Heat for 30 seconds then stir. Heat again in 30 second bursts until melted.

5. Once melted remove truffles from freezer. Dip truffles in chocolate with a fork (use fork as a spoon do not piece truffles. This way the chocolate runs between the prongs) and then place on tray. I find it easier to use a fork it never works for me using a tooth pick or bamboo skewer.

6. Once truffles are covered with chocolate place them back in the freezer for another 10-15 minutes until they harden.

7. Enjoy.

Note: Make sure to store in fridge as they will melt outside. Not that they will last that long.
