Posted by Nicole Frain on Dec 04, 2018 in #Recipes#12 Days of Christmas.
It's our 12 Days of Christmas celebration!
Chocolate, raspberries and nuts... What a great Christmas combo!
Here's a recipe all of your friends and family will love, even those who follow a plant-based diet!
These decadent truffles are rich and nutty on the outside and have a surprise burst of freshness on the inside.
For those fortunate enough to win our Limited Edition Very Berry Earth Protein, pop a scoop of that in, otherwise improvise with our regular chocolate protein.
