Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Dark Chocolate Sunflower Seed Butter
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1 1/4 cup oat flour
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1/3 cup chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil, or other neutral oil or vegan butter
- Sea salt
- candy cane, crushed
Directions
Combine seed butter, maple syrup, peppermint extract, oat flour, and cocoa powder in a bowl and mix.
Scoop a spoonful amount of mixture into your hand and roll it into balls/truffles. Place on a plate with parchment paper and freeze for at least an hour.
For the topping, melt chocolate and oil slowly in a microwave on medium power, or in a bowl over a simmering pot of water. Mix until smooth, being careful not to overheat.
Drizzle or dunk the truffles. Sprinkle sea salt and chopped candy cane on top. Store in airtight container in the fridge or freezer!
