ALMOND COCOA TRUFFLES
Thursday 09.12.13 
My sweet tooth was out in full force before we left for Maine, so I whipped up these almond cocoa truffles in an attempt to calm it down! They're made with almond butter but you could easily substitute another kind of nut butter, add additional sweetener or otherwise modify the recipe to make sure YOUR sweet tooth is satisfied. Hope you love! xx- Sarah {more after the jump}

I am loving all of these raw truffles popping up on the web! These look delicious.
To quote Forrest Gump... "I could eat about a million and a half of these!"
Looks tasty! Thanks for sharing, I'm going to give them a try.
