Raw Chocolate Truffles

When I was looking at cutting back our sugar intake, I had a friend try to help me figure out what my biggest struggle was.  It was quite obvious….CHOCOLATE! I’m not a milk chocolate eater either.  I like real, dark, luscious chocolate, with it’s bittery sweetness that melts in your mouth! Mmmmm…

She suggested some raw chocolate pecan turtles she posted on her blog.  I gave it a try and fell in love with them.  My husband doesn’t like pecans, so I ventured out trying to utilize other nuts and ingredients.  We used honey instead of agave because I’ve heard some mixed information regarding agave.  Here are a few we tried.  I used the same cacao base and topped it with pecans, almonds, pecans, walnuts, and macadamia nuts.  I also rolled a macadamia nut in one and then rolled it in coconut.
