Hi,
I have just subscribed for your weekly newsletter and thanks for the thank you recipe for the chocolate donuts.
I have tried using your search bar but it doesn’t seem to work. I was looking for a truffle recipe and I found it but only by using my google search which brought your page up in the search contents. You have quite a few good looking recipes that I will be trying.
Thank you, Susan

Thanks for the recipe, I felt like an alchemist watching the liquid ingrediants turn solid. In NZ the stevia I can readily buy is granulated. I will blitz it first to it readily spreads throughout the mix. I took a heaped teaspoon if mix, flattened it into a disk in the palm if my hand, popped a roasted hazelnut in the centre, then moulef the mix to enclose the nut. OMG fererro rocher but health and better !!

I’ve made these two days in a row, even when I hide them in the outdoor fridge the family still eats them all!! Brilliant recipe and so easy to make, I pulsed almonds and rolled them in ground almonds the second time, I also added a frozen raspberry to the middle of each one to provide a different variation, still amazing though!!

Just made these and in the fridge to set! Taste amazing without even being refrigerated, I can’t get that sort of stevia where I live so I used 2 and a half teaspoons of powdered stevia and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, worked perfectly! I also used desiccated coconut to roll it in as I had no flakes and again it still worked! Really great recipe and will definitely make again!

In reply to Cindy. You could substitute the powder but it could be somewhat grainy if the powder isn't absorbed and stirred really well. Amount will be dependent on your taste, start with 1 teaspoon, taste test and decide if you need more.

I am unable to get that kind of stevia here, so I use Sweet Leaf stevia in the pkgs. Haven’t even been able to find the Sweet Leaf brand in liquid…… Is there some special way to substitute the powder? These sound really good, and since I have to be gluten, dairy, sugar, and soy-free, it would be nice to have a good “sweets” recipe……

Thanks so much, I love your website I have shared a fair few of your recipes on my Facebook page. These were so easy to make a little dark for me as I did not have stevia I used coconut sugar but going to use honey next time. I was not expecting them to be this easy. thank you

In reply to Kristin. I honestly can't taste the coconut. The chocolate is more prominent.

I don’t like the taste of Coconut, can you taste the coconut oil? A lot of your recipes call for it…just curious.
Thanks!

In reply to Brenda. Thanks for your reply. I went ahead and counted them as 2 points each. They were worth it though!
