    Ingredients

    The ingredients for this recipe are only 4: chocolate, salt flakes, margarine and coconut milk. Since we use few ingredients these must be of high quality. It's totally worth spending some extra cash for some great chocolate, you'll thank me later, trust me!

    Chocolate

    For this recipe we use dark chocolate with at least 70% of cacao. Depending on the level of sweetness desired, it is possible to use chocolate with a cacao level between 70% and 80%. The higher the cacao percentage the less sweet the treats will turn out.

    Margarine

    Margarine helps us stabilize truffles and make them creamier. It can be substituted with refined coconut oil.

    Do They Taste Like Coconut?

    Short answer: No! The dark chocolate covers perfectly the coconut flavour. Therefore don't be afraid of using it. You'll love them, trust me!
