Guilt-free indulgence. For when we need that chocolate magic. Raw cacao powder combined with dates, almonds and spices are the simple ingredients of these divine truffles. 

Raw cacao powder, associated with longevity, is rich in antioxidants, can be good for the heart and can strengthen immunity. Almonds are a true superfood. They are associated with a range of health benefits, such as supporting bone and skin health. They can also contribute to strengthen the immune system and are full of healthy fats.

Goes well with: a cup of tea, good conversation, lunchbox proof
