For those times when life requires something chocolaty  (pretty much at any time of the year, week, day) and you just want to make something quick in under 10 minutes ; I’ve got you covered with these extremely simple and yet so delicious Chocolate Chia seeds truffles. The truffles are

dairy free
refined sugar free
gluten free
guilt free
awesome

Although the recipe is wholesome and nutritious, just made with real ingredients, you could certainly serve to any and all of the people in your life and not just the gluten free and vegan hippies and hipsters.

I decided to add real Italian hazelnuts to these chocolate truffles to give them a little textural pleasure. If you are allergic to nuts then you can simply skip them making the recipe nut-free or you substitute them 1:1 with fine oats. You can do some with and some without and combine and exchange as you like.

Now your challenge will be not to eat them all in one day.

Good luck with that.
