Peanut Butter Cup Truffles

Healthy chocolate recipe? Sign me up. I found the inspiration for this recipe from Chocolate Covered Katie and it did not disappoint. This interesting recipe includes garbanzo beans, but I promise you won't taste them. Instead, they give the mixture the texture of raw cookie dough.

Ingredients:
I can chickpeas (drained and rinsed very well)
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/8 tsp baking soda
2/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup peanut butter
3 tbs oats 
about 1-1/2 cups chocolate chips
 
Directions:

• Blend all ingredients, except chocolate chips, in a food processor until very smooth. 
• Roll mixture into small truffle sized balls. 
• Place in refrigerator until they set up (About 20 mins)
•  Melt chocolate chips in the microwave* or double boiler.
• Using two forks, coat the truffles in the chocolate
• Put truffles back into the refrigerator until the chocolate has hardened. 
• Enjoy! 

* It is very easy to burn chocolate in the microwave. Put the chocolate chips into a microwave safe bowl and set it for 30 seconds. Then stir and put it back in for 30 second intervals until melted, stirring in between.
