Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and my absolutely favorite part of this holiday is chocolate truffles. I love brownies, cookies, cupcakes but you can’t beat a deliciously decadent chocolate truffle.

These yummy pecan praline truffles are not your regular truffles. First they are filled with deliciously homemade maple pecan praline butter. Secondly, they are prepared without any refined sugars. So skip the store bought standard gifts and prepare these deliciously healthy pralines.

How to

To prepare these sweet truffles you need to start with the maple pecan praline butter. It is a nut butter made out of maple caramelized pecans and almonds. 

First roast the nuts until they are toasted for about 10 minutes. Next, bring maple syrup to a medium simmer, add roasted nuts and keep cooking until the maple syrup has crystallized and no liquid remains. 

Transfer onto a baking sheet and let cool for about 5-10 minutes.

Process the maple coated nuts into a smooth and indulging pecan praline butter. Be aware, this praline butter is highly addictive.

Once the pecan praline butter is ready, mix in some of the melted stevia sweetened chocolate and cacao butter. Transfer into your preferred praline mold and refrigerate for about 2 hours until pralines have hardened. 

Coat in melted chocolate and cacao butter. Let sit for about 10 minutes, et voila, you got yourself some of the most decadent pralines.
