Instructions
- First, grind up your baking chocolate into shavings. You can use a blends or food processor. Make sure it’s not too ground up. You want chocolate shavings.
- Next, in large bowl, add in all your dry ingredients. Mix them all together.
- Add your almond butter and honey and mix with a spoon. Then add vanilla/butter. Add 1 tbsp beet powder or goji powder here if you want it red inside.
- Mix again and then use your hands to finish. It’s easier using your hands to mix after a certain point.
- Roll dough into bite size balls. Mine turn out to be about 18 grams each. Place in freezer after. Makes anywhere between 28-29 balls.
- After they are frozen roll in 1 -2 tbsp additional cocoa powder and beet or goji powder.
- Freeze or keep in refrigerator to maintain freshness.
Notes
