Instructions

Prepare the Chocolate Mixture

Melt coconut oil in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water (double boiler), or in short bursts in the microwave. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.
Remove from heat and stir in honey, cocoa powder, vanilla extract and salt until completely smooth and well combined.

Chill and Shape

Pour the chocolate mixture into a small, lined container or baking dish. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely firm.
Once firm, scoop out rounded tablespoons of chocolate and roll into balls using your hands or a spoon.

Optional: Coating and Decoration

If desired, roll the truffles in cocoa powder, chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or sprinkles.
Refrigerate for another 30 minutes before serving to allow the coating to set.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips

For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark cocoa powder.
Adjust the amount of honey to your liking. Taste the mixture before chilling and add more if needed.
If the mixture is too thick, add a teaspoon of warm water or milk to thin it out.
Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
