Dark Chocolate Gingerbread Truffles
Ingredients
- 6 ounces dark chocolate (at least 50 percent cacao), finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil

- 1/3 cup coconut milk
- Pinch of sea salt
- 2 drops Cinnamon Bark Vitality
- 2 drops Ginger Vitality
- 1 drop Clove Vitality
- 1 drop Nutmeg Vitality

Instructions
- Place the chopped chocolate in a heat-proof bowl and set aside.
- Combine the coconut oil, Yacon Syrup, coconut milk, and salt in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer (do not boil).
- Pour mixture over reserved chopped chocolate. Let stand for 1–2 minutes, and then stir gently until completely melted and smooth.

- Refrigerate until mixture is just set, about 2 hours.
- With a small scoop or spoon, make 12 balls, rolling each between the palms of your hands to smooth.
