These are sugar-free (sweetened with agave), and super darn good. They take care of a chocolate fix without leaving you feeling guilty or sick after!
· 1/2 cup coconut butter/oil, warmed to soften
· 3/4 cup agave nectar
· 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
· 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
· 1 cup dried shredded coconut
· 2 1/4 cups cocoa powder, preferably raw, sifted (I use DARK chocolate powder.)
In a high-speed blender, blend the coconut oil, agave nectar, vanilla, and salt. Add the shredded coconut, 1/2 cup at a time, and blend until smooth.

Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in 2 cups of the cocoa powder until thoroughly combined. Place the bowl in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes or more to set slightly.
Place the remaining 1/4 cup cocoa powder onto a small plate. Spoon heaping tablespoons of the chocolate mixture and roll them into balls. Roll these in the cocoa powder (or coconut!). Store the finished truffles in the refrigerator.
