It was Valentine’s Day when I made these last week. Thus the strawberry, and chocolate. Another lovely combo next to one of my favorites, peanut butter, and banana. If you like that combo, check out my last post Peanut butter, banana bars (Vegan option)
These are super easy to make, and don’t take a lot of ingredients. They’re a nice sweet treat and are nice for an on-the-go snack. It’s basically a chewy, chocolate covered strawberry!
I used a small cookie scoop instead of a big one, but feel free to make them bigger if ya want a real mouthful!! So i’m sitting here writing this post, and I asked my sister “what should I write about these truffles??” A lot of times I just don’t know what to write on these posts, because does anybody even read the actual post? Or if they do, what do they want to read, ya know?? Anyways, she says “Say how they’re good even for single people…” HAHAHAHA!! Wow, thanks sis for that tidbit.
They are delish whether you’re married, dating, or single. So don’t hesitate to try them!! You probably already have all the ingredients on hand too. If you don’t, you can purchase them through the links I provided in the above paragraphs.
It hard to write about something you haven’t experienced! So guess I have to make them MYSELF đŸ™‚ They look good! (vegan option not followed) – note from sis. I was out of things to write, so I told my sis, write the last paragraph. So there it is! Ha!
