Snacking has become a thing lately and many parents wonder if their children were fed well in school because the rate at which they request for snacks is quite alarming. Not to worry, give them a healthy snack option like almond chocolate truffles.

Most children love chocolate truffles so it is very likely they will get hooked on this healthier version of the snack. It is very easy to make, and you do not have to bake it either. It can also double as a dessert for the whole family.

Nut based butter on its own is very nutritious and the perk to this treat is, there is no added white sugar and it is made with dairy-free butter and cream.
