A Healthy Valentines Treat

Why not try these healthy chocolate truffles, created by our very own Chef Ukhonaye Mconi.

Chef Ukhonaye says he chose this dish because it’s “cheaper and healthier than chocolate truffles from supermarkets, and there are so many more added benefits in all the ingredients.”

“I also see it as a fun activity for couples or families. It’s an eat and play kind of set up” he adds.

2 Cups Toasted Oats or Toasted Bran

4 Tbsp Honey

3 Tbsp Peanut Butter

3 Tbsp rehydrated Goji Berries

Pinch Salt

3 Tbsp Dessicated Coconut

1 Tbsp Cocoa Powder

Extra Cocoa Powder for dusting

Method:

In a bowl, add all dry ingredients together and mix thoroughly, once mixed, the wet ingredients including the berries can be added.

Should there be adjustment needed (if too loose, add more oats, if too dry add more honey/peanut butter).

Once the desired consistency has been reached, roll your oat mixture to the desired size and dust/coat with the extra cocoa. Sprinkle cocoa.

These can be refrigerated and frozen for later use/consumption.
