Ingredients

12 oz. unsweetened, vegan dark chocolate, broken in pieces
1 cup of organic, whole, roasted & peeled chestnuts, chopped
3 tbsp. coconut oil
4 tbsp. xylitol

Directions

1) Add all ingredients (other than finely ground chestnuts for coating truffles) together in double boiler over low heat, whisking continuously until chocolate mixture resembles a thick, fudge-like paste.  If mixture becomes too runny, take off of stove for a couple of minutes and whisk continuously until it thickens.
2) Remove chocolate mixture from stove, scoop out heaping teaspoons of chocolate mixture, roll into balls and place on a plate. 
3) Coat truffle balls with ground chestnuts.
4) Place in refrigerator overnight, or until firm.
5) Serve and enjoy!
