Preparation Steps
- Melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted chocolate with almond flour, sugar, coconut oil, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix thoroughly until a dough forms.
- Roll the mixture into 36 equal-sized balls using about 1 tablespoon of mixture for each.

- Optionally, roll the truffles in extra almond flour or cocoa powder for coating before serving.
Notes
For a nut-free version, substitute almond flour with finely crushed graham crackers or digestive biscuits. Keep truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
