Notes

Almond butter - We used Barneys smooth Almond Butter.

Semi sweet chocolate chips – The better the quality, the better the truffle. Use high quality chocolate like Ghiradelli semi sweet chocolate chips or finely chopped chocolate bar.

Topping ideas – Apart from cocoa powder, these easy truffles recipe made with almond butter can be rolled in finely chopped pistachios, almonds, peanuts or shredded coconut (use unsweetened).

Time – Resting time depends on the weather. The dough firms up in about an hour during cold winter months, whereas more than 3 hours on a hot summer day.
