Description

Vegan “Ferrero Rocher” Chocolate Truffles- just like the real deal, but then vegan. The crunchy coating, and smooth soft chocolate on the inside dipped in raw chocolate and hazelnuts make this a delicious sweet treat.


Ingredients

Scale
  • Chocolate Truffles
  • ½ cup medjool dates
  • ⅓ cup roasted hazelnuts (skins removed)
