Easy-to-Make Granola Truffles Recipe

For the past 3-4 months I’ve been really working on changing my dietary needs into something a little bit more healthier. I’m now approaching the BIG 5-0 and it’s time to get serious about weight loss.

One of the things I’ve been enjoying the past few weeks in some good old fashioned granola which can be eaten alone as a snack or tossed into some homemade yogurt, ice cream, hot or cold cereal, etc. You can toss a handful in any cookie, bread or muffin recipe too.

Granola Truffles Recipe

1 2/3 cups heavy cream
7 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 lbs. semisweet chocolate, cut or broken into shards
12 oz. bag of Viki’s Granola for rolling truffle

Place cream and butter into a saucepan. Allow butter to melt on medium heat, stirring the whole time. Raise the heat just until the cream mixture comes to a boil.

Remove saucepan from heat, add the chocolate and stir until it is completely melted. Continue stirring until the mixtures thickens and cools a bit. Cover mixture with cellophane and place in refrigerator. Allow at least 2 hours to cool and thicken for at least 2 hours but mix 3 to 4 times during that time.

To form truffles use a small melon baller or spoon to scoop chocolate mixture into the palm of your hand. Roll into a ball then roll in your favorite Viki’s Granola. Place completed balls on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate before serving.
