Chocolate truffles are a crowd-pleasing holiday treat. Wrapped in a cute bag, they also make an excellent gift. This version is vegan, gluten-free and has the benefits of coconut oil (including medium-chain triglycerides and lauric acid). We used Virgin Coconut Oil for the coconut flavor, but you can also use Refined Coconut Oil for a neutral flavor.
