Things are just better crunchy am I right? We all remember the snap crackle and pop ads and the chocolate crackles that made an appearance at every birthday party, well these truffles are dedicated to those fat laden rice crispy delights and are a much healthier alternative of course!
My inner child was so excited by these truffles, and my 9 year old daughter was too! These treats are perfect for diabetic kids. Low carb, packed with protein and with only dates to sweeten them means that I feel good giving them to my daughter and because they don’t taste healthy she doesn’t feel as if she’s missing out!
I keep mine in the freezer because I love the harder texture but you can store them in the fridge and they also will keep their form out of the fridge making them the perfect treat to be able to take to parties.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup puffed brown rice
- 3/4 cup almond meal
- 3/4 cup desiccated coconut
- 2 tbsp raw cacao powder
- 1 packed cup of medjool dates (if you cant find them, other types will still work)
- 4 tbsp natural nut butter ( I used almond and peanut)
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 2-3 tsp rice malt syrup
Method
Pitt the dates and then process them in a blender or food processor, once they have turned into a gooey ball add the nut butter, rice malt syrup and the melted coconut oil. Spoon out the mixture into a bowl and add the almond, coconut, cacao and puffed rice and mix together with your hands until you have a sticky mixture. You should be able to squeeze it in your hand and have the mixture stay together. Roll the mixture into small bite sized balls, lay them on a tray lined with baking paper and place them in the fridge for at least 1 hour or the freezer for at least 30 mins until they have set.
You can roll them in more cacao powder before serving for a truffle effect.
Enjoy! x
