- Add the melted coconut oil/cacao butter mixture
- Stir until well combined
- Leave in the fridge until set so you can form little balls
- Dip in dark chocolate or dust with cacao powder* Carob has a slight caramel flavour and the combination of cacao & carob goes well in this. Since both are really high in magnesium and other antioxidants these truffles are healthy.
