Ingredients:
-

2 tablespoons almond butter (or peanut butter)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
-
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
-
Cocoa powder, shredded coconut, or chopped nuts (for rolling, optional)
Instructions:
-
Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.

Add the Collagen: Stir in the scoop of collagen peptides into the melted chocolate mixture until fully incorporated.

Add Sweetener & Flavor: Add the almond butter, honey or maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well combined.
-
Chill the Mixture: Place the mixture in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes, or until it’s firm enough to handle.
-
Form Truffles: Once chilled, scoop out small amounts of the mixture (about 1 tablespoon) and roll them into balls using your hands.
-
Coat the Truffles: Roll the truffles in cocoa powder, shredded coconut, or chopped nuts for extra flavor and texture.
-
Chill Again: Return the truffles to the fridge to set for an additional 10-15 minutes.

Serve: Enjoy these rich, collagen-boosting chocolate truffles straight from the fridge. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
Tips:
-
Customize the Coating: Try rolling the truffles in a mix of cocoa powder and cinnamon for a warm, spiced flavor.
-
Make Them Vegan: Use dairy-free chocolate and substitute the honey with maple syrup or agave.
-
Storage: These truffles can last up to a week in the refrigerator, making them a great make-ahead treat.
