Being resourceful in the kitchen can {sometimes} get you into a bit of trouble. Most folks that find themselves without chocolate during a massive chocolate craving just simply do without chocolate for the time being. Me? I whip random ingredients together until I’m either sort-of-satisfied or surprisingly super satisfied.
After a week of gentle tweaks, I was super satisfied. A progression of hemp seed chocolate bars to coconut/almond chocolate bars to just coconut bars led me straight to coconut truffles. And now I have a bundle of sweet treats waiting for me in anticipation of any chocolate craving, big or small.

Do without chocolate for the time being? Ha ha ha no. I’m with you that the correct answer is mess around in the kitchen until the chocolate craving is satisfied. Goes without saying that running out of cocoa powder is not an option. I love how your energy balls are both very healthy (no sugar) AND very chocolate-y.
Thank you! Hope you enjoy!
