# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • You can satisfy a chocolate craving in literally 15 minutes without heating up your kitchen
  • These taste like raw brownie batter but somehow count as a respectable snack
  • The recipe is forgiving enough that youve probably got everything you need right now
02 -
  • Room temperature ingredients blend much more smoothly than cold ones, so pull everything out about 20 minutes before you start
  • Over processing the nuts will release too much oil and make your bites greasy instead of fudgy
  • These actually freeze beautifully and taste amazing straight from the freezer like little chocolate truffles
03 -
  • Wet your hands slightly before rolling to keep the mixture from sticking to your palms
  • Use a small cookie scoop for uniform sizes if you care about how they look on a plate
