1/2 cup mixed nut butter from Trader Joes or natural almond butter 1/4 cup butter 2 tablespoons coconut oil 1 1/2 tablespoon Swerve + 1/4 tsp maple extract or use 1 1/2 - 2 tbsp pure maple syrup 0.5 ounces spiced rum a mini bottle will yield two batches of truffles small pinch of salt OPTIONAL - 10 ounces White chocolate chips + 1 tablespoon coconut oil or white candy coating OPTIONAL -2 tablespoons finely chopped walnuts for topping SUGAR FREE WHITE COATING 1 1/2 cup Swerve Confectioners or your choice 1 cup cocoa butter wafers I use these tiny pinch of salt to balance sweet flavor
Mix everything except the optional ingredients with an immersion blender with the whisk attachment (or just whisk by hand) to fluff it up a bit.
Chill for 30 minutes to an hour or until it just starts to get firm, but not too hard or they'll be too hard to form into shapes.
Roll into balls. If you use the mold you can just fill the mold and pop them out once they harden.
Chill again until fairly hard (or put in the freezer if dipping.)
Melt optional white chocolate chips with up to 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. If desired, chill again and dip a second time.
Dip hardened truffles into melted white chocolate OR roll in chopped nuts.
For sugar free white coating, fully melt wafers in a double boiler, stir in Swerve and salt.
