You are going to love these Raw Chocolate Caramel Macadamia Truffles.
These truffles are an adaptation of my super popular Raw Caramel Macadamia Bliss Balls. However, for these truffles I omitted the tahini which feature in my bliss balls.
They are really easy to make and taste so good!!! As always, these truffles are gluten, dairy and refined sugar free as well as paleo and vegan friendly.
INGREDIENTS YOU NEED

Raw Chocolate Caramel Macadamia Truffles
These Raw Chocolate Caramel Macadamia Truffles make the perfect after dinner treat! They are delicious and look amazing! Your guests won't believe that you actually made them.
Ingredients
- 1 cup macadamias
- 12 medjool dates (use 14 if they are small)
- ½ cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- 2 teaspoons vanilla paste
Chocolate coating
- ½ cup coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- ½ cup raw cacao powder
Instructions
- Process the macadamias in a food processor until they resemble fine crumbs, next add the medjool dates, maple syrup, coconut oil and vanilla paste and process until completely combined and smooth. Place mixture into the freezer until firm, approximately 30 minutes.
- Remove from the freezer and roll the mixture into small balls and then place back into the freezer for approximately 1 hour (this will ensure that they are not too sticky when you are coating them in the chocolate)
- To make the chocolate coating, melt the coconut oil in saucepan on low heat. Once melted, add the maple syrup, whisking until well combined. Then add the cacao powder, stirring well until well mixed through.
- Once the caramel macadamia truffles are ready, coat in the chocolate mixture. I use either two spoons or a spoon and a fork to coat them in the chocolate mixture and drain off any excess.
- Place them back in the freezer for a minimum 10 minutes so that the chocolate sets. Keep stored in the refrigerator or freezer.
Notes
Cook time does not include the time it takes for the truffles to freeze — approximately 2 hours, depending on the temperature of your freezer.

Instead of vanilla paste can you use vanilla essence and if so how much?
Thank you
Vanessa Vickery
Hi Debbie, I would use the same amount as the paste.
