Made with creamy avocados these rich chocolate truffles are a perfect snack or sweet for your Valentine.
By Sharon Lachendro
If I told you my kids LOVE these avocado truffles would you believe me? Because it’s totally true. They pretty much devour them as fast as they can. And I don’t blame them, they’re really good. They also don’t know they’re full of healthy avocado so it’s pretty much a mom-win for me. 
These bad boys are made with avocado as the base and they’re mixed with some chocolate to make them oh, so tasty. I’m not going to call these a health food per say, I’m not a nutritionist. But I will say these are a better choice for a snack than traditional truffles.
So if you have a little hankering for something sweet, these would be a good choice. They might even become your new favorite sweet.
