Epicurean- Vegan Truffles


 

Desserts are always good, but especially these ones. No dairy or butter because they're vegan, and something about a truffle makes chocolate seem a little more fancy.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup margarine
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
dash of salt
1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
2 tablespoons of water
1 1/4 cups of gluten free flour
1/4 cup of carob chips or a dairy free alternative chip (for the inside0
12 ounces of dairy free semisweet chocolate

Add everything except for the 12 ounces of chocolate into a big bowl and sit it in the refridgerator till it is harder, almost at a dough consistency probably 45 minutes. Once the dough is firmer roll the dough into little balls and place on in the freezer for 15 minutes till they're rock hard.

Melt the 12 ounce bag of chocolate, a microwave will do, and allow the chocolate to cool a little. Remove the frozen balls and dip them into the melted chocolate till they are covered. The chocolate will harden almost instantly around the dough balls. Place them on a parchment paper covered plate so they don't stick. Finally still the completed balls back into the fridge until they are ready to be eaten and be sure to keep them in there if they aren't all eaten (unlikely but just in case).
