Notes
- When melting the chocolate, make sure there's no liquid in the bowl, as it'll cause the chocolate to seize.
- If you don't have chocolate chips, you can also melt chocolate baking bars.
- If the almond butters has separated, make sure to mix it well before using.
- Add more depth of flavor by toasting the almonds.
- To store: Keep the chocolate truffles covered in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- To freeze: You can freeze the truffles for up to 3 months in a freezer-safe bag or container.
