Chocolate Chili Truffles

Another delicious truffle recipe; although it sounds deliciously spicy as well. I have not tried them yet, but they are on my holiday baking "try" list.

• Ready In: 55 mins
• Serves: 10-12

Ingredients

• 1  cup dark chocolate, 73%
• 1  tablespoon  agave nectar
• 1  teaspoon chili powder (chipotle or ancho, depending upon how spicy you like it)
• 1⁄4 teaspoon  almond extract (or vanilla)
• 1⁄4 cup coconut milk
• 2  tablespoons  toasted almonds, finely chopped
• 1  tablespoon cocoa powder

Directions

1. In a large saucepan, melt chocolate over very low heat. Stir in agave, chili, almond extract, and coconut milk. Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes or until mixture is about the consistency of a thick frosting. Scoop mixture into balls and set aside on a parchment-lined paper or baking sheet. Combine the almonds and cocoa powder in a shallow bow. Roll the truffle balls in the almond-cocoa mixure.
