Indulgent Chocolate Orange Truffles
These truffles are made using our orange and cacao Love Vegan bars so most of the hard work is already done! Making them super easy, healthy and so tasty!

If you’d like to make your own truffle base then see the alternative in the ingredients list (unfortunately I don’t have exact measurements as I just use the orange Love Vegan bars)
Ingredients
4 Orange and cacao Love Vegan bars*
100g Dark chocolate
Few handfuls of walnuts blended to coat the truffles
Method
Place the chocolate in a glass bowl over a pan of simmering water and gently melt, you could also use the microwave but it does burn quite easily.
Cut each of the Love Vegan bars in half and roll each half into a ball.
Once the chocolate has melted, use two forks to hold a ball at a time and dip the ball into the chocolate, shake to remove any excess chocolate and place on a plate to set slightly
Repeat until all the balls are coated
Sprinkle the balls with the chopped nuts, using a spoon to coat the edges, once combined you can gently roll them so the nuts stick into the chocolate properly. (You may need to wait a little while until the chocolate is just starting to set, if it sets completely then the nuts will not be able to stick, so time it just right!)
*if you don’t have any love vegan bars then you may blend a handful of dates with a couple of handfuls of cashews and the juice and zest of a small orange, simply blend the ingredients together in a blender or food processor and once combined roll into balls. Add more dates if it’s too crumbly and more nuts if the mixture is too sloppy
If you do make this then I hope you love it

Although many of my recipes are gluten free please make sure you double check your ingredients to check. I am not intolerant to gluten so am no expert but I still like to provide GF options, please fully read your packets at home before making this, thank you :)
