Naughty and Nice Chocolate Truffles

no bake
grain free, dairy free, egg free, WHOO HOO :)


4 ounces spicy chocolate (try Dagoba brand's "xocolatl")
6 ounces dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa)
3 tablespoons coconut oil
1 cup coconut milk (from the can, not the beverage full fat, please)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (gluten free)
1/2 teaspoon almond extract (gluten free)


1. Chop chocolate into small pieces, and place in bowl.

2. Heat milk on stove top until it begins to bubble lightly around edges.
3. Slowly add milk into bowl with chocolate.  Add remaining ingredients.
4. Place mixture into refrigerator until cooled and firm.
5. Once cool, make balls in between your hands.
6. Roll the chocolate balls in raw cacao powder, shredded coconuts, chopped nuts, etc.
7. Store in fridge or freezer.
8. ENJOY :)

Note: Depending on how much you like spice, adjust the ratio of spicy chocolate to regular.  If you LOVE spicy, feel free to add cayenne pepper.

  1. These are out of this world!! I made them for my birthday treat at work, and EVERYBODY loved them!! You can create a variety of tastes with varied kinds of chocolate and/or stirring in different nuts.
